areas covered are:
A START UP AND RUNNING
B PROG. REVIEW / DNC / BGEDIT / POWER DOWN
C G/M/S/T COMMAND CODES

N SET UP PROCEDURES
O OVERRIDES: FEED/SPIN/COOLANT
P PARAMETERS / DIAGNOSTICS
Q POSITION DISPLAYS
R RECV / SEND PROGRAMS
S SAMPLE PROGRAM

When the HELP display is selected, the alphanumeric keys are used to select one of the above topics; they
are not displayed on the data entry line of the screen.
The CALCULATOR FUNCTION is selected by pressing the HELP key a second time. There are three calcula-
tor pages: Trig Help, Circular Interpolation Help, and Milling/Tapping Help. All of these have a simple calculator
and an equation solver. Trig, Circular, and Milling Help are selected using the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN
keys. The Fn keys also allow data to be moved from other displays to/from the calculator.
All of the Calculator Help functions have a calculator for simple add, subtract, multiply, and divide operations.
When one of these functions (Trig, Circular, or Milling) is selected, a calculator window appears in the upper left
corner of the screen, and below it the possible operations (LOAD + - * and /). LOAD is initially highlighted,
and the other options can be selected with the left and right cursor arrows. Numbers are entered by typing
them in at the cursor in the lower left corner of the screen and pressing the WRITE key. When a number is
entered and LOAD is selected, that number will be entered into the calculator window directly. When a number
is entered when one of the other functions (+ - * /) is selected, that calculation will be performed with the
number just entered and any number that was already in the calculator window. The calculator will also accept
a mathematical expression such as 23*4-5.2+6/2. It will evaluate it (doing multiplication and division first) and
place the result, 89.8 in this case, in the register (the window).
