    How to type "#" on a Yang Eagle Fanuc O-MD

    Hi, i made a macro program in my computer and send it to the machine, it's a Yang Eagle 1000 with Fanuc O-MD from 1996. I want to be able to edit the values in the program and then i need to type the sign "#" to alternate the value. Does anyone know how to do it on this machine

    Trying for programming macro values. If I recall, can't be done on the machine control panel. Must be done offline and then loaded to the machine.

    I know it is a "slimmed" control system. So it might not be possible to alternate some characters in the machine control panel as you say.

    according to the parameter manual no's 140-203 set the signals for the keypad to specific letters/numbers/symbols. So it might be possible to re-program one unused key to be a # by setting the correct number. See the parameter manual no's 140-203 for the info.
