7.3 Program Header Screen
The first screen you see when you enter the Program Mode is the Program Header
Screen. The Program Header Screen gives you options that apply to the entire program.
The softkey selections allow you to enter the program at any point.
The program name and general programming options you choose in the Program Header
Screen will be in the program as "Event 0".
7.3.1 Program Name
Programs written on the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC are usually named for the part that is to
be machined. When programs (or files) are named using the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC, the
name can be up to 25 characters long. Programs imported into the ProtoTRAK PMX
CNC may be longer. While 25 characters are allowed, the entire program name may not
be shown in the status line or the program header screen.
Program names can include numbers, letters, spaces and other characters.
Hint: do not use a period or / in program names. This will confuse the computer because
it uses these characters to store and classify programs.
