6.6 Display in the step editor (option from SW 6.4)
You can either edit a part program in step display (step editor) or in
standard display (ASCII editor). The function is available for multi-
channel systems as an option: "Multi-channel sequencer
programming". The file SEDITOR.INI and instruction "SEFORM" can
be used to structure the NC programs.
Existing NC programs can be displayed in step representation using
the default settings in the file SEDITOR.INI.
The following are interpreted as steps:
- Standard cycles
- Contours (geometry processor, contour definition)
- G code
- Wait markers (WAITM)
- End (data end, no M17, M02, M30 command)

Assignment with ini Files
The function SEFORM is provided for the step editor for structuring
the NC programs as step programs
("step name", level, icons) and is used for:
- Naming steps
- Assigning steps to another level (0=main level, 1=sublevel)
- To mark steps with icons for display
- Delimit steps.
They are visible in the default (standard) display. SEFORM
instructions have no effect during program execution in the NC and
during simulation.
To display a program selected in the editor as a step program, press
the 2nd horizontal softkey "Operating step" of the expansion key. A
new program only displays the empty step "End". The new program
steps must be inserted before this end step.
Other information
If a program contains a SEFORM instruction in the first 500 lines, step
display is automatically activated. Without option, you can only edit a
program with SEFORM instructions in standard display.
When you switch over in the dual editor, both editor panes switch over
to step display. When you switch back to the standard ASCII editor,
both panes change to ASCII display.
