12.2.7 Background Editing
Editing one program during execution of another program is referred
to as background editing. You can perform the same edit operations
in the background as those in normal editing (foreground editing).
On a 10.4” or 15” display, you can perform background editing for the
programs displayed in multiple tiled windows. You can switch from
a program displayed in one of the tiled windows to another to perform
copy, paste, and other edit operations, which allows you to edit
programs efficiently.
You can edit two programs simultaneously on a 10.4” display or four
programs on a 15” display.
Function
- Background editing
A program other than the currently selected program can be edited.
Background editing can be performed in any mode.
- Program selected in the foreground
If the program selected in the foreground is specified as a program to
be edited in the background, background editing is started in the
read-only mode. The text at an arbitrary position of the program
currently being executed can be checked.
- Switching from the program directory screen to the editing screen
By selecting a program from the program directory screen,
background editing can be started.
On the program directory screen, move the cursor to a program to be
edited in the background, then press the MDI key [INPUT]. The
screen display switches to the background editing screen.
Background editing can be started without entering a program name.
- Background editing on a multi-path system
Background editing does not depend on the path.
Even if the path to be operated is changed using the path selection
signal, the background editing currently being executed is just
continued.
