The following is a description of the selectable functions (F1-F5):
F1 Mode Mode selects type of digitizing command.
F5 Quit Quit inserts the linear moves and returns the user to the Program
Editor.
Circular Digitizing
The Circular Digitizing screen is shown in Figure 3-17. Circular digitizing uses the
joystick to generate clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) move commands in a
program. This mode is selected by pressing the Mode (F1) key until “Cir” is displayed at
the top of the screen. The circle is calculated based on three points on the arc (see
margin). The starting point is the current position. Move the axes to the first point, press
the joystick “C” button, and then repeat for the second point. The U511 automatically
calculates the circle direction. After the first point on the circle is entered, the user may
reenter it by pressing the F2 key. This will overwrite the previously recorded position
while preserving the starting point.
