Access introduction of work program.
Example with set-up parameter "FU1" set on "1".
The current quota 1 (flashing) is displayed.
The operator can introduce the quota relative to the first output
enabled in set-up (min. -9999 - max. 9999) and confirm it with the
ENTER key.
Example with set-up parameter "FU2" set on "2".
The current quota 2 (flashing) is displayed.
The operator can introduce the quota relative to the second output
enabled in set-up (min. -9999 - max. 9999) and confirm it with the
ENTER key.
A request is made to introduce the time for activating the second
output enabled in set-up (max. 60.00 seconds).
The operator can introduce its value and confirm with ENTER.
Example with set-up parameter "FU3" set on "3" when parameter
"Ab" is set on "1".
The current quota 3 (flashing) is displayed.
The operator can introduce the quota relative to the third output
enabled in set-up (min. -9999 - max. 9999) and confirm it with
ENTER.
A request is made to introduce the delta for activating the third
output enabled in set-up (min. 0 - max. 9999).
The operator can introduce its value and confirm with ENTER.
When confirmed with ENTER the programming of the other enabled
