96 5 Program Management
5.2 Program Manager Functions
Recycle Bin
When a program is deleted it is sent to the Recycle Bin. The
Recycle Bin allows the operator to restore, or permanently delete
programs that have been deleted from the folder.
Touch the Recycle Bin button located on the bottom
bar. The pop-up dialogue provides four action steps
that can be taken: Restore, or Delete (permanently)
the selected program, Empty the bin (all items), or
Close (bin).
Selecting Restore should restore the program, and it should now be
available in the folder list (in its original folder).
USB Access
Within the Program Manager the operator can access a USB device by
inserting the USB device into the USB port of the control.
As soon as the USB device is inserted, the Program Manager will
automatically display the contents of the USB device within the
folder list window. From here the operator can modify, copy, delete,
etc. any of the programs, or folders on the USB device.
To get back to the previous folder list the operator can
press the Back navigation menu key or open up the
directory tree from the Utility Functions menu and
navigating to the desired location.
To properly remove the USB device, the operator
should press the Unplug USB menu button before
removing the device.
When a program has been restored from the Recycle Bin,
it’s contents must be verified.
It is recommended to copy programs from the USB
device to the CNC and use the program from the CNC.
