These softkeys are available for changing part setup information when the cursor is in an
X OFFSET or Z OFFSET field:
• PAGE UP F1—scrolls up through the # fields, displaying groups of offsets.
This softkey is also available when the cursor is in the Active Offset field.
• PAGE DOWN F2—scrolls up through the # fields, displaying groups of
offsets. This softkey is also available when the cursor is in the Active Offset
field.
• ADDITIONAL AXIS OFFSETS F3—toggles the screen to a second screen
containing W Offset (Tailstock or Sub-spindle) fields and Y Offset fields.
• The W Offsets are available for Programmable Tailstock (TMX series) and
Live-Tooling and Y-Axis Motion (TMX MY series) and Live-Tooling, Y-Axis
Motion, and Sub-spindle (TMX MYS) turning centers.
• The Y Offsets are available for Live-Tooling and Y-Axis Motion (TMX MY
series) turning centers and Live-Tooling, Y-Axis Motion, and Sub-spindle
(TMX MYS) turning centers.
• STORE MACHINE POSITION F5—(or Store Machine Position console
key)⎯sets the current axis position as a Part Zero location. The cursor
location defines which axis (X or Z) will be set. The current axis position
appears in the DRO Part column as zero.
• TABLE COMMANDS F7—displays an additional softkey menu with choices
for saving and restoring the offsets.
• WRITE TABLE TO FILE F2—opens a Save As dialog box for naming and
saving the offsets to a file. You can assign the file extension of your choice
in the File name field. It is not possible to select an extension using the
Files of type field.
• READ TABLE FROM FILE F4—opens the Open dialog box for selecting a
folder and filename. When an offset file is selected from this dialog box,
those offsets are read from the file and the values appear on the Part
Setup - Work Offsets screen.
• CLEAR TABLE F7—resets all values in the table to 0.000. A confirmation
window appears prior to resetting the values.
• EXIT F8 —exits the Table Commands menu and returns to the first Part
Setup - Work Offsets menu.
The Page Up and Page Down keys function like the PAGE UP F1
and PAGE DOWN F2 softkeys when an offset is selected in Change
Part Setup. If an offset is not selected, these keys jump to the
previous block.
