7.2 Machine Display in the Dashboard
The configurable machine display is referred to as the dashboard (see figure).
The dashboard features 16 fields whose contents can be specified via
machine parameters. You can create one or more dashboard for each
operating mode of a machining channel. The corresponding dashboard is
displayed when an operating mode is switched to. If more than one dashboard
is defined for an operating mode, then there must be a user function in place
for switching between dashboards.
The details of the displays, such as axis designations, number of decimal
places, etc. are specified in the selection or configuration of the dashboard
element. You specify in MP_unitOfMeasure (CfgUnitOfMeasure) whether
the units are displayed in the inch or metric system.
Sequence of the dashboard elements:
[0] [1] [2] [3]
[4] [5] [6] [7]
[8] [9] [10] [11]
[12] [13] [14] [15]
