- Path selection
With the setting of LSL, bit 0 of parameter No. 8104, you can select
between the following two path selection methods:
• Type A
Make a selection with a path selection signal (HEAD (G063.0),
HEAD2 (G062.7) , or HEAD3,4 (G408.1,2)).
• Type B (specifications compatible to the Series16i /18i /21i)
Make a selection either by pressing and holding down the MDI
key "SHIFT" and then pressing "HELP" or with the loader
control selection signal (LCBS(G251.1)).
The path selection signals (HEAD, HEAD2,3,4) are effective to
paths that are not loader paths.
NOTE
Type B is available if there is only one loader path.
If there are multiple loader paths, select type A.
Details of type A
<1> As for path selection, there is no distinction between loader and
normal paths. That is, the path specified with a path selection
signal (HEAD (G063.0), HEAD2 (G062.7), HEAD3, 4 (G408.1,
2)) is selected.
<2> If the simultaneous multipath display settings are enabled
(parameters Nos. 13131 and No. 13132), both loader and normal
paths can be displayed on the same screen.
<3> No loader path is selected even if the type B operation is
performed (pressing and holding down "SHIFT" and then
pressing "HELP" or entering the loader control selection signal
path selection signal (LCBS(G251.1)).
Details of type B
<1> When the loader control selection signal (LCBS(G251.1)) is "0",
pressing and holding down the MDI key "SHIFT" and then
pressing "HELP" causes the system to switch between a loader
path and a normal path.
<2> If the loader control selection signal is "1", the "SHIFT" +
"HELP" operation is disabled, and a loader path is always
selected.
<3> If there are multiple loader paths, the loader path with the
smallest path number is selected. It is not possible to select the
second or subsequent loader paths.
<4> The path selection signals (HEAD, HEAD2,3,4) are effective to
paths that are not loader paths.
<5> If, during loader path selection, the path selection signal is
changed, the state of the selection of a normal path changes in
the background.
