8.3 Transfer
Selecting the program
In the window on the left, the CNC PILOT shows a file list of the
control. The files of the remote station are displayed in the window on
the right when a connection is established. With the arrow keys you
can switch back and forth between the two windows.
When selecting a program, place the cursor on the desired program
and press the Mark soft key. You can also select all programs with Mark
everything.
Marked programs are highlighted in color. To unmark a program,
simply press Mark once again.
The CNC PILOT displays the file size and the time of the last
modification of the program in the list if permitted by the length of the
file name.
With DIN programs/subprograms, you can also view the NC program
with the Program view soft key.
Press the Transmit or Receive soft key to start transferring the files.
During transfer, the CNC PILOT displays the following information in a
transfer window (see illustration):
The name of the program which is currently being transferred.
If a file already exists in the target path, the CNC PILOT asks
whether you want to overwrite the file. You can then activate
overwriting for only that file or for all files in the transfer.
If the CNC PILOT detects during transfer that the transferred files are
linked to other files (subprograms, ICP contours), a dialog box opens
where you can select the linked files for transfer.
Transferring project files
If you wish to transfer files from a project, the "Project" soft key
enables you to open the project management of the control and select
the corresponding project (see “Project management” auf Seite 129).
Soft keys for program selection
Marks all files in the current window.
Marks or unmarks the file at the

subprogram for reading.
The Internal project soft key enables you to manage
