The job list contains the SELECT instructions.
SELECT <program> CH=<channel number> [DISK]
The SELECT instruction selects a program for execution in a specific NC channel. The
selected program must be loaded into the working memory of the NC. The DISK parameter
enables the selection of external execution (CF card, USB data carrier, network drive).
