Programming Station
Starting the programming station
Start the iTNC 530 programming station as you would any other
Windows application. Either double-click the HEIDENHAIN icon on
your desktop or use the Start menu. The iTNC control panel appears
(see figure at upper right). As soon as the programming station
software is started, the iTNC control panel automatically minimizes.
Defining the window mode
In the standard setting, the programming station software starts in full
screen mode. If your PC permits a higher resolution than 1024x768,
you can also start the programming station in the window mode so
that the programming station behaves like any other Windows
application.
To select the window mode, proceed as follows:
U Start the programming station software
U Double-click the green HEIDENHAIN symbol to the lower right in
the task bar for the iTNC control panel to appear (see figure)
U Click the More >> button: Additional settings are displayed
U Click the Settings button: Display options are displayed
U Select the 1024 x 768 window option. Confirm with the OK button
The TNC functions (e.g. L, C, CC etc.) are sent internally
over certain key combinations (accelerators) to the
programming station software. Remember that such key
combinations are also used by other Windows programs,
which can result in undesired effects.
Changes do not take effect until you restart the
programming station software: Press the Restart iTNC
button.
