output
By pressing <F2> (OUTPUT) in the basic display ("function selection") you branch tothe "OUT-
PUT" function. Here, machine data or machining programs can be output from the module, the
PG or from a floppy/hard disk drive. It is then possible to change the data and write it back to the
source. The function keys <Fl >.,, <F8> have the same assignment as in input. The displays
are also identical with the exception of the header. Here, OUTPUT is displayed instead of INPUT.
The first display is the block selection display. Here, you must select the data block you wish to
display. You can select machine data or machining programs using the function key <F7>
(HELP). After specifying
the block number,
the axis number (only for machine data output) and
the source device (with <Fl >... <F3>) from which the data block is to be read,
the first machine data/machining program display will appear.
