Dialogues and drop down menus
This manual provides complete information where specific
examples of actions are being explained.
As a general overview of the dialogues provided by the control,
several fields are likely to be provided for input. To navigate a
dialogue, use the Arrow keys to select the desired field. After
entering the data into a field, press either the ENTER key, or the Up
Arrow or Down Arrow keys to move to the next field. Exiting a field
with one of these key methods will retain the entered data in that
field.
When the required data has been entered, press the USE key to
accept the data entered for use in that specific function.
Most dialogues contain Drop Down menus. Specific machining
operations may require additional information. The choices available
are provided in a drop down menu. In most cases, they are also
provided as soft keys. The choices can be selected from either
location.
