– Fast availability of all information
Do you have questions on a programming
step, but your User’s Manual is not at
hand? No problem: Both the TNC 640 and
the TNC 640 programming station feature
the help system TNCguide, a convenient
help system that can display the user
documentation in a separate window.
You can activate TNCguide by simply
pressing the help key on the TNC keyboard
or by clicking any soft key with a pointer in
the shape of a question mark. You switch
the cursor by simply clicking the help
symbol that is always visible on the TNC
screen.
TNCguide integrated in the control, e.g. on the TNC 640 ... … or at the programming station.
TNCguide usually displays the information
in the immediate context of the element in
question (context-sensitive help). This
means that you immediately receive the
relevant information. This function is
particularly helpful with the soft keys. The
method and effect of operation are
explained in detail.
You can download the documentation in
the desired language free of charge from
the HEIDENHAIN homepage into the
corresponding language directory on the
TNC hard disk.
The following manuals are available in the
help system:
• User’s Manual for Conversational
Programming
• User’s Manual for Cycle Programming
• User’s Manual for DIN/ISO Programming
• User’s Manual for the TNC 640
Programming Station (only included in
the programming station)
