It has been over 10 years. The operator loaded the main program via punched tape. And using the setup manuscript MDI-ed the HAAS program into the HAAS index controller. The CNC controller was a Mark Century 1050 control. It has true messaging. A message regarding each indexer command could have its corresponding message on the CNC control match the indexer display. So the operator knew that the indexer was at the correct postion corresponding to the CNC program.
