If you have selected the "Automatic numbering" option for the editor, then
the newly added program blocks are allocated a block number (N num‐
ber).
The following rules apply:
● When creating a new program, the first line is allocated the "first block
number".
● If, up until now, the program had no N number, then the program block
inserted is allocated the starting block number defined in the "First
block number" input field.
● If N numbers already exist before and after the insertion point of a new
program block, then the N number before the insertion point is
incremented by 1.
● If there are no N numbers before or after the insertion point, then the
maximum N number in the program is increased by the "increment"
defined in the settings.
Note:
After exiting the program, you have the option of renumbering the pro‐
gram blocks.
1. Press the ">>" softkey.
A new vertical softkey bar appears.
