Calling the File Manager

Press the PGM MGT key
The control displays the file management window
(see figure for default setting. If the control
displays a different screen layout, press the
WINDOW soft key).
If you exit an NC program by pressing the END key, the
control opens the file manager. The cursor is on the
NC program that was just closed.
If you press the END key again, the control opens the
original NC program again with the cursor on the last
selected line. With large files this behavior can cause a
delay.
If you press the ENT key, the control always opens an
NC program with the cursor on line 0.
The narrow window on the left shows the available drives and
directories. Drives designate devices with which data are stored
or transferred. A drive is the internal memory of the control. Other
drives are the interfaces (RS232, Ethernet) to which you can connect
a PC for example. A directory is always identified by a folder symbol
to the left and the directory name to the right. Subdirectories are
shown to the right of and below their parent directories. If there are
subdirectories, you can show or hide them using the -/+ key.
If the directory tree is longer than the screen, navigate using the
scroll bar or a connected mouse.
The wide window on the right shows you all files that are stored in
the selected directory. Each file is shown with additional information,
illustrated in the table below.
