keys and . This bar selects the offset register to be modified.
Actions of TOOL OFFSETS Screen
Actions executed on TOOL OFFSETS screen overwrite offset registers instantly, however it is
registered by the program under execution only if the program has been started from the
beginning or the program execution is interrupted (INTD state) and restarted. So the current
offset is overwritten in vain, the modified value will not be registered till the modified values
are not called by the system. It also follows, that hasty overwrite of offsets during program
execution will not cause an immediate problem, its effect may only be perceptible in case of the
next running of the program, so when modifying be extremely cautious.
The following actions and action menus can be activated to the TOOL OFFSETS screen by
