Creating and editing job lists

A job list can be created for each workpiece to be machined. The job list
contains instructions to help the user control the loading of workpieces onto the
NCK.
A job list contains not only the main programs and subroutines required for the
production of the workpiece, but all data related to the machining process. This
data includes tool offsets (TOA), zero offsets (ZOA), R parameters (RPA) and
setting data (SEA, SEA4).
The job list can also be used to select part programs on the individual channels
of the NCK.
The job list is executed whenever a workpiece is selected in the Machine area
(AUTOMATIC display) or copied (loaded) into the part program memory
using the data manager.
If no job list is stored in a workpiece, all the files of the workpiece are loaded
when the workpiece is selected in the Machine area or copied from the data
manager to the NCK memory.
When you create a new workpiece, a standard job list is automatically created
in this workpiece. This standard job list contains a description of the job list
syntax (entered as comments), as well as a LOAD * command that loads all of
the workpiece files into the NCK memory.
The job list of a workpiece must have the file name "job".
Please refer to the next section "Commands and syntax of job lists" for further
information on the syntax of the job list.
