Interface description.
Window description
As mentioned earlier, each screen may consist of one or many of the following windows (later
sections of this chapter describe each one of them in greater detail):
• Edit window: For editing new programs or modify the existing ones. Editing is possible
using a profile editor, a conversational canned cycle editor or using the TEACH-IN
feature.
• Graphic window: This window shows a graphic representation of the program during the
simulation. It also allows taking measurements on the graphics.
• Program window: For selecting the starting and ending conditions of the simulation.
• Statistics window: For estimating the machining time for each tool and the total program
execution time.
• Cycle editor. The cycle editor makes it easier to edit machining and probing cycles.
• Profile editor.
• Editor for inclined planes.
• Geometric help editor.
When the screen consists of several windows, the softkey menu will show the options of the
active window. To switch windows and access the desired softkey menu, press the [FOCUS]
key.
