6.2 Program management with PCU 20
Open the Program Manager.
Place the cursor on the directory/program that you want to
rename.
Press the "Rename" softkey.
Enter the name of the new directory or program in the "To:" field.
The name must be unique, i.e. two directories or programs are not
permitted to have the same name.
Press the "OK" softkey.
The directory/program is renamed.
Delete programs or directories from time to time that you are no
longer using to maintain the clarity of your data management system
and to release NC main memory.
Back up this data beforehand on an external data medium if
necessary (see Sec. "Importing/exporting a program via the RS-232
interface").
Please note that when you delete a directory, all programs, tool data
and zero point data and subdirectories that this directory contains are
deleted.
If you want to release space in NC main memory, delete the contents
of the "TEMP" directory. ShopMill stores the programs that are
created internally for calculating the stock removal processes in this
directory.
Open the Program Manager.
Place the cursor on the directory/program that you want to delete.
Press the "Delete" and "OK" softkeys.
The selected directory or program is deleted.
