Defragment hard disk
The defragmentation operation scans the CNC hard disk for file locations and rearranges them for optimum performance.
This task should be performed approximately every three months.
To defragment the hard disk:
1. From the Main screen, choose Setups > Password > Special Setups.
2. Choose System > Defragment Hard Disk.
Launch an External Program
The Phoenix software provides a method for you to launch a program from a custom soft key on the Main screen. The
following steps create a soft key that launches the Notepad text editor. You can modify the key label and path to launch a
drive tuning, inventory, or other program needed in your environment.
1. Using a text (ASCII) editor such as Windows Notepad, create a file named “external.txt.” This file will contain only two
lines of text.
2. In the first line of text, enter the words that you want to appear on the soft key, in 60 characters or fewer.
3. In the second line of text, enter the path to the program on the Phoenix hard drive.
4. Save the file in the C:\Phoenix folder.
