Use the arrow keys to highlight the name of the part program to be

uploaded to the workstation or type in the part program name, then

press

[ENTER]

.

When you upload a program from the control, the control does not display

a message to indicate that an upload is taking place. If you upload a large

program it may take several minutes for the upload to complete. If you try

to edit the program while it is uploading you see an error message that says

the program is already open. You have to wait until the upload is complete

to edit the program.

Important: You can upload more than one part program by using

wildcards (“*” or “?”) in place of all or part of a file name. Refer to the

workstation’s DOS manual for additional information about using

wildcards.

If the selected part program already exists on the workstation, the

workstation displays this screen:
