Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual page 1365

If, after selection of the project, new variables are to be added, a complete list of NC
variables must be selected. No complete list need be called if the user only wishes to delete
variables from the project.
Storing a project
The variable list is stored using the "Project", "Save" or "Save As...." menu items.
"Save" stores the variable list under a path, which is already specified. If the project path is
not known, then the procedure is as for "Save As....".
"Save As..." displays a window in which the path for the project to be stored can be
specified.
Printing a project
The "Print" command under the "Project" menu item can be selected to print a project file.
The number of lines per page is selected under the "Print Setting" menu item. The default
setting is 77 lines.
Edit menu item
The following operator actions are examples of those, which can be carried out directly with
this menu item:
• Transfer variables
• Delete variables
• change alias names
• Find variables
These actions can also be canceled again under Edit.
Undoing actions
Operator actions relating to the creation of the project file (transfer variables, delete
variables, change alias names) can be undone in this menu.
NC variables menu item
The basic list of all variables is saved in NC Var Selector path Data\Swxy (xy stands for
software version no., e.g. SW 5.3:=xy=53). This list can be selected as an NC variables list.
In case of SINUMERIK 840D sl the basic lists are present in the path Data\Swxy_sl.
