Starting the programming station
Start the programming station as you would any other Windows
application. Either double-click the HEIDENHAIN icon on your desktop
or use the Start menu. The TNC Control Panel appears (see figure at
upper right). As soon as the programming station software is started,
the TNC Control Panel automatically minimizes.
The TNC functions (e.g. L, C, CC etc.) are sent internally over
certain key combinations (shortcuts) to the programming
station software. Remember that such key combinations
are also used by other Windows programs, which can result
in undesired effects.
