Creating a program, which hard key should be pressed?

The correct choice is associated with the process of entering or selecting a program for use. Pressing the "Select" hard key allows the operator to choose a specific program from the available list. This action is crucial in programming environments where multiple programs are stored, and the operator needs to specify which one to work with or to execute.

This function is foundational before subsequent steps like saving changes, starting operations, or running the selected program. Understanding the flow of operations when working with CNC machines is vital, and selecting the appropriate program is the first step in that process. Other choices pertain to different functions and would follow after the program has been selected, highlighting the importance of the selection step in programming.
