10.16 DIRECTORY DISPLAY / PUNCH FOR EACH GROUP
General
In addition to the conventional directory showing the names and
numbers of the programs registered with the CNC, directories
organized according to groups such as the objects to be machined can
also be displayed.
With the group-by-group program directory display, using the same
character string in certain portions of the names of the programs
belonging to the same group, it is possible to search for those programs
that have that character string in their names and which display a
directory of the names and numbers of the programs.
With group-by-group program punch, those programs belonging to the
same group can be punched as a batch.
