Before accessing this option, it is necessary to select the page or symbol to be edited or modified
by means of the EDIT option of the UTILITIES mode of operation.
With this option it is possible to include texts in the selected page or symbol. The CNC displays a
screen 80 columns wide (640 pixels for X coordinate) by 21 rows high (336 pixels for Y coordinate).
When editing a new page, the CNC will position the cursor in the center of the screen and when
editing a new symbol, it will position it at the upper left-hand corner.
The cursor is white and once the text to be inserted has been selected, it can be moved around on
the screen with the [] [] [] [] keys.
The cursor can also be moved by using the following keystroke combinations:
[SHIFT] + [] Positions the cursor at the last column (X638).
[SHIFT] + [] Positions the cursor at the first column (X1).
[SHIFT] + [] Positions the cursor at the first row (Y0).
[SHIFT] + [] Positions the cursor at the last row (Y334).
It is also possible to key in the XY coordinates of the point where the cursor is to be positioned. To
do this, follow these steps:
1. Press "X" or "Y".
The CNC will highlight, in the editing parameter display window, the cursor position along the
selected axis.
2. Key in the position value corresponding to the point where the cursor is to be placed along this
axis.
The horizontal position is defined as the X value between 1 and 638 and the vertical position
as the Y value between 0 and 334.
Once the desired text has been selected, press [ENTER]. The CNC will move the cursor to the
indicated position.
Once this option is selected, it is possible to modify the editing parameters at any time even while
defining the texts. This way, it is possible to edit texts of different size and color. Press [INS] to access
this menu.
Once in this mode, press the corresponding softkey to modify those parameters. Press [INS] again
to quit this mode and return to the previous menu.
It is also possible to insert one of the texts available at the CNC or a text previously keyed in by the
user. To do this, the following softkey options are available:
USER DEFINED TEXT
Follow these steps to insert the desired text:
1. Press the [ENTER] key.
The CNC will display a text editing window; the cursor within this window can be moved with the
[] [] keys.
2. Type the desired text.
A rectangle will be displayed which will enlarge as the text is "typed" in the editing window thus
indicating the screen space that this text will occupy.
Press [ESC] to cancel this option and the previous menu will be displayed.
3. Press [ENTER] once the text has been correctly "typed in".
The typed text will remain in the editing window and the cursor will be positioned in the main
window.
4. Position the rectangle by moving the cursor.
5. Press [ENTER] to validate the command. The CNC will replace the rectangle with the indicated
text.
Note that once the text has been "entered", neither its size nor its color can be modified. Therefore,
these options must be selected before pressing [ENTER].
