5.

To scroll the part program blocks, hold down the

[SHIFT]

key, then

press the up or down cursor keys. If the program is being displayed

from a peripheral device only the forward direction may be used to

display the program.

6.

To end the displaying operation, press the exit {

Ý

} softkey. The

display returns to the program directory screen.

You can assign a short comment on the program directory screens to each
individual program. These comments are used to identify a program when

it is selected for automatic operation or to be edited.

Important: These are not normally the same as a comment block made

within a part program. Comment blocks are described on page 10-9. If a

comment block is assigned as the first block of the part program, it will be

displayed on the program directory screen as a comment. Any other

comment blocks have no affect on the comment display.
