1 - 6 Overview v546CO WinMax Lathe Conversational Part Programming
Conversational Programming Calculator
To calculate data values for screen fields, follow these steps:
1. Position the cursor on the field you want to calculate.
2. Type the number used in the calculation.
3. Press the console key of the operation you want to perform (+, -, x, or ÷).
4. Type the second number used in the calculation.
5. Press the Enter key.
To make a change to an existing field, follow these steps:
1. Select the field.
2. Type the value you want.
3. Select the operation (+, -, x, or ÷).
4. Press Enter.
For example, to add 0.05 to a field containing a value of 1.000, type 0.05 + then Enter.
The value in the field changes to 1.050.
Automatic Calculations
The Automatic Calculation feature automatically calculates values for certain fields after
sufficient data is known. For example, if the X or Z end points cannot be determined from
drawings, leave the fields blank. After you input additional information about an adjacent
element the missing data may be calculated.
The screen displays a “CAL” when a calculated parameter is created. If you enter a value
and later decide to let the control calculate the data, clear the entered value by following
these steps:
1. Use the Arrow keys to move the cursor to the parameter where the automatic
calculation is needed.
2. Press the C (Clear) console key.
3. Press the Enter key. The value is cleared from the program and the calculated
dimension is displayed in its place (if the field remains blank, additional data
must be entered before the control can calculate the value).
You may repeat steps 3 and 4 for a longer equation.
