2.1 Help systems
The CNC allows access to the help system (main menu, operating mode, editing of commands, etc.)
at any time. To do this, you must press the [HELP] key and the CNC will show the corresponding
help page in the main window of the screen.
The following assistance is available:
Operating assistance
This is accessed from the operating mode menu, or when one of these has been selected but none
of the options shown have been selected. In all these cases, the softkeys have a blue background
color.
It offers information on the operating mode or corresponding option.
While this information is available on screen it is not possible to continue operating the CNC via the
softkeys, it being necessary to press the [HELP] key again to recover the information which was
on the main screen before requesting help and continuing with the operation of the CNC.
The help system can also be abandoned by pressing the [ESC] key or the [MAIN MENU] key.
Editing assistance
This is accessed once one of the editing options has been selected (part programs, PLC program,
tables, machine parameters, etc.). In all these cases, the softkeys have a white background color.
It offers information on the corresponding option. While this information is available, it is possible
to continue operating with the CNC.
If the [HELP] key is pressed again, the CNC analyzes if the present editing status corresponds to
the same help page or not.
If another page corresponds to it, it displays this instead of the previous one and if the same one
corresponds, it recovers the information which was in the main window before requesting help.
The help menu can also be abandoned after pressing the [ESC] key, to return to the previous
operating option, or the [MAIN MENU] key to return to the main menu.
If the help consists of more than one page of information, the symbol(a) indicating
that this key can be pressed to access the following page or the symbol(b) indicating
that it is possible to press this key to access the previous page.
