7.1.10 TURNguide – context-sensitive help system (user documentation)
The TURNguide help system is based on the familiar Windows format for help,
CHM. The CHM format was introduced by Microsoft in 1997 together with the
HTML help system, and is now used by many Windows programs. It is a
collection of individual HTML files that are collected in a single compressed
file.
Mozilla Firefox is used as the browser on the single-processor MC. The
programming station uses Internet Explorer or the standard browser
configured for your PC.
In principle, the control with TURNguide is able to open and display any CHM
files, including those prepared by the OEM. HEIDENHAIN provides the
following documentation in the form of CHM files:
 TNC 620 User’s Manual
 TNC 620 User's Manual for smart.Turn and DINprogramming
 Collection of all NC error messages
The User’s Manual for the programming station is also supplied with the
programming station.
The individual CHM files can be downloaded as ZIP archive from the
HEIDENHAIN homepage on the Internet:
"Services and Documentation" > "Software" > "TURNguide Help"
Context-sensitive entry points were defined in the above CHM
documentation. After the Info key is pressed, the control displays the relevant
place within the documentation. If no context-sensitive entry point is available,
the control opens the parent main.chm book file, in which all CHM files in the
respective (language dependent) help directory are shown. The user navigates
to the desired entry with the mouse or the arrow keys.
He can also jump to an entry point in TURNguide by mouse click:
 Click the help symbol that is shown at the right of the screen over the soft-
key row.
 The mouse pointer changes into a question mark.
 Click the soft key
 The control starts the help system and—if an entry point is defined for the
soft key—shows the help text pertaining to the soft key’s function. If no
context-sensitive entry point is available, the control opens the parent book
file main.chm, as described above.
