in the "Program name" field. The program is also loaded and selected

appears to allow you to return to the main menu.
Function
The default editor for creating and editing part programs or other text
files is the standard ASCII editor. This allows users to edit part
programs using individual instructions: G codes, keywords, etc.
The version with two windows displaying two sets of program
instructions side-by-side is referred to as the "Dual ASCII editor" (dual
editor).
• The standard ASCII editor displays the characters that can be
entered via the keys on the operator panel.
• A part program opened by the editor cannot be simultaneously
started in the NC (enable is canceled); an alarm (14011) is
indicated in this case. If the control is switched off while the editor
is open, the enable might have to be set manually.
• When you exit the editor after editing cycles in the NC and if these
cycles are also stored in the Flash File System, then an activity
symbol (fan symbol) is displayed while the data is being copied into
the Flash File System.
