3.4.5. Program Menu: The Digitize Submenu
The Digitize function allows the user to edit a file and use the joystick to generate
positioning commands in the program. This function may be used to generate linear,
circular (clockwise or counterclockwise), or spline move commands.
When Digitize is selected from the Program submenu, an Edit File screen, similar to the
one in the Edit submenu is displayed. Refer back to Figure 3-7. The user is required to
input the file to be digitized. Once the file is selected or new file is chosen, the Program
Editor screen for the Digitize submenu will be displayed. See Figure 3-14. This screen
functions identically to the Program Editor screen of the Edit submenu except that the
Copy/Paste function is replaced with a “Digit” function. This function enables the joystick
and allows the user to select the type of command generated.
