Writing in insert/overwrite mode

Text can be entered in insert or overwrite modes

• Insert mode

  The characters entered are inserted in the current position of the insert marker in addition to the existing characters.

• Overwrite mode

  The characters entered are inserted in the current position of the insert marker and overwrite the existing characters.

Switching between the modes is done using the Insert key.

The current mode is displayed in the status bar using INS for insert mode and OVR for overwrite mode.

Creating an IL program

Carry out the following procedures to create an IL program:

Step	Action
1	Creating an IL Section.
2	Enter the first operator (e.g. LD). Note: As soon as the text is entered several checks are made, such as syntax/semantic error checks, correct spelling of keywords and variable names etc. A detailed description of syntax is found in chapter Instruction List IL in the Reference manual. The results of the checks are indicated by a color folder, see also Syntax and Semantics Check during Programming.
3	Use the TAB key or spaces to separate operands from operators.
4	Enter the operands (e.g. il).
5	Confirm the line with the ENTER key.
6	Repeat these steps until all instructions are entered. Example:
