Apart from the global program (XYZ.MPF), the file XYZ_MCD.INI is
also set up in which the assignment between work offsets and
programs is stored. Both programs are stored in the directory that was
previously selected in the Program Manager.
If you switch from the assignment list (without "Abort" or "Create
program") to another function and then call the "Multiple clamping"
function later on, the same assignment list is displayed again.
If you do not want to execute a program in the near future, you can
unload it from NC main memory. The program is then stored on hard
disk and NC main memory is free again.
As soon as you execute a program that was stored on hard disk, it is
loaded into NC main memory again.
You can, however, also load one or more sequential control programs
in the NC main memory memory without executing them immediately.
Programs that are in "Machine Auto" mode cannot be unloaded from
NC main memory to the hard disk.
Open the Program Manager.
Place the cursor on the program that you want to unload from NC
main memory.
Press the "Continue" and "Manual Unload" softkeys.
The selected program is no longer marked with an "X" in the "Loaded"
column.
In the line in which the available memory space is displayed, you can
see that NC main memory has become free again.
