F5 (MDI) Main-MDI
The F5 (MDI) key on the Main menu selects the MDI (manual data input) function. Through
MDI any programmable machine function can be executed one function or one block at a time.
When MDI is selected the following screen appears.
As the functions are typed in they will appear on the MDI line at the bottom of the screen. After
the data has been typed in, Enter must be pressed to end the block. At this point a Cycle Start
will execute the MDI line. During MDI the ESC (Esc) key will terminate any MDI command. F6
will bring up the normal graphic displays discussed earlier. If graphics are turned on during
MDI, the graphic display will graph all the MDI moves as they are executed.
