5.2 Editing ICP Contours
An ICP contour consists of definitions of the individual
contour elements it is made up of. Each ICP contour
is clearly identified by its number and a short
description. ICP contours are integrated in ICP cycles.
You program an ICP contour by entering the individual
contour elements one after the other in the correct
sequence. The starting point is defined when you
describe the first contour element. The end point is
determined by the target point of the last contour
element.
Existing contours can be edited or added to.
The contour elements / subcontours are displayed as
soon as they are programmed. With the zoom and
panning functions, you can adjust the graphics as
required.
You can call ICP contours either with "Select ICP
contours," or by defining an ICP contour number ("ICP
contour input box). To switch between the list of ICP
contours and the "ICP contour" input box, press the
vertical arrow keys or ENTER.
You can successively program/edit several ICP
contours. After exiting the ICP editor, the last active
"ICP contour number" is transferred to the cycle.
For copying or deleting ICP contours, see “Program
Management” on page 75.

„ Define a new ICP contour number, or

Press Select.
You can now use the ICP editor to
„ enter a new contour, or
„ display the selected existing contour for
subsequent editing.
