Input Multiple Programs
Press
{MULTI PRGRAM}
to copy multiple programs from the tape
into memory.
If STOP PRG END was set to the tape reader
“yes” stops each time it encounters a program end or
tape end code.
“no” continuously reads programs until it encounters
a tape end code.
For details on how multiple programs are input and named, refer to
the AUTO FILENAME, STOP PRG END, and PROGRAM END
parameters discussed beginning on page 9-7.
When you input a program, the control does not erase the program
from the peripheral device. If the program being read contains a
comment in the first block, the control loads the comment and
displays it with the program name in the program directory.
If the selected program name already exists in control memory, the
following prompt appears: “OVERWRITE PROGRAM IN
MEMORY (Y/N):”
Type: To:
“Y” start the tape reader and overwrite the existing program in
memory with the new program
“N” abort the copy operation
CAUTION: If you select overwrite, the control will erase the
existing program from its memory prior to replacing it with the
new program. If an error occurs during the input operation, or
you abort the copy operation, the original program will be lost,
and the new one will not be copied.
To abort the copy operation at any time, press the
{CANCEL}
softkey.
