8.3.3 Help for programming subroutines.
Subroutine help files.
Help files may be associated with each OEM subroutine (G180/G189 and G380/G399 ) and
each global subroutine called upon using #MCALL or #PCALL and they will be displayed
while editing. Each subroutine may have two help files; a text file (txt) and an image file (bmp).
The help window is displayed while editing, after a blank space or tab following a G function
or following the name of the subroutine. The help window is only informative, it cannot be
accessed with the cursor nor browse through it. When the help file is displayed, its text may
be inserted into the part-program using the [INS] key. The help window closes with [ESC],
deleting the key word or going on to another line of the program.
The help window of the subroutines is only available when the editor uses the CNC language;
when the editor is enabled for the 8055 CNC, these helps are not available. The help window
of the subroutines is available even when the contextual helps of the editor are disabled.
List of available subroutines.
The editor allows having in a text file (txt) a list that is displayed while editing the part-program,
every time a #PCALL or an #MCALL instruction is edited.
The editor shows the list of subroutines while editing, after a blank space or tab following
a G180-G189 or following a #PCALL or #MCALL instruction. This list works the same way
as the lists of variables, it is possible to use the arrow keys to scroll through the various
elements. Pressing [ENTER], the editor inserts the selected line in the current position of
the cursor. The list of subroutines disappears with [ESC], deleting the key word or going on
to another line of the program.
The help is always active, even when the contextual helps of the editor are disabled.
For further information on how to define the help on subroutines, refer to the programming manual.
