Editing Part Programs Offline

Chapter 6

6-16

If the Overwrite option is selected, the part program file being uploaded
overwrites the file having the same name on the workstation.

If the Abort option is selected, the upload process is discontinued and the
workstation prompts the programmer for additional files to upload.

Important: If a wildcard was entered in place of a file name, the Abort
option is repeated for each file that matches the wildcard. Pressing the

[ESC]

key quits the abort wildcard process.

If the name of the part program that was entered does not exist on the
workstation or the Overwrite option was selected, the workstation displays
this screen:

F1 - File

F2 - Project

F3 - Application

F4 - Utility

F5 - Configuration

Proj: Demo

Appl: Upload

Util: Get Part Program

Upload In Progress

Percent Transferred: 80%

The percentage of the upload process that has currently been completed is
displayed on the screen. This value is updated continually throughout the
upload process.

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.
