- Custom Commands store the moves learned during Teach Mode
- A single Custom Command can contain any number of simultaneous Jog Motions.
- In a SINGLE Custom Command, you could teach the bender how to combine any number of axes and actuators into one motion.
- Every BEND stores up to 10 custom commands. For example, a 5 bend part could have up to 60 additional Custom Commands. (10 in PreBend and 50 for the bends. The last bend's Custom Command is used for PostBend.)
- Each Bend's Custom Command changes how the bender works after that bend when transitioning to the next bend.
- OVERVIEW of EDITING a CUSTOM COMMAND
- Select the "Edit Custom" button of the bend's Custom Command you want to create or edit (See Screen 1)
- Select one of the ten available Custom Commands (See Screen 2)
- Setup the Custom Command selected in the Custom Command Editor (See Screen 3)
- Exit to the FRB menu
- Press AutoBuild

- OTHER THINGS TO KNOW
- Custom Commands can be MANUALLY entered and edited without the bender running in Teach Mode.
- Or Custom Commands can be edited even after they were built using Teach Mode.
