Execution from external memory (EES)

The "Execution from external storage" function allows you to directly execute any size of part
program from an appropriately configured drive. The behavior is the same as that for execution
from the NC part program memory without the restrictions that apply to "EXTCALL".
Note
Not possible to teach-in program
When an EES program has been selected, it is not possible to teach-in programs.
You have the option of processing the G code programs saved on the configured external
drives as usual in the editor.
When executing the G code programs, you obtain a current block display, as usual. You can
edit the programs directly in the Reset state.
In addition to the current block display, you can also show a basic block display. You can make
corrections with the "Program correction" function, as usual.
