This section contains information on how to select the protectable part
program directory. Use this directory to store part programs that you wish
to control access to. When part programs that have previously been
protected through encryption are downloaded to the control from ODS or
the Mini DNC package, they are automatically stored in the protectable
part program directory.

Important: The {CHANGE DIR} softkey controls access to the
protectable part program directory. This softkey is password protected.
You must have the proper password to access this softkey.

If you have access to the {CHANGE DIR} softkey, you can:

perform any of the program edit functions on the protected programs
directly select and activate any of the protected programs
view programs executing from this directory

You can only call a protected program from a main program using a
subprogram, G-code macro, or M-code macro call without access to the
{CHANGE DIR} softkey.

If you do not have access to the {CHANGE DIR} softkey, you cannot
view the executing blocks of the program called from the protected
directory.

To access the protectable part program directory:

1.

Press the {PRGRAM MANAGE} softkey.
