6.1.2 Configuring the traversing keys
The traversing keys of the HT 8 are not labeled as their type of action is not predefined. The
labeling of the traversing keys should adapt dynamically to the type of action of the keys. To
recognize the type of action of the traversing keys, they are shown within the display in the
vertical softkey area.
The menu of the traversing keys consists of two vertical rows each with eight keys so that up
to 16 texts can be configured. The top and bottom traversing key row remain empty and can
be assigned other functions.
The following data can be displayed:
● Machine axis name
● Alias name for machine axis
● Any language-dependent text
● Symbol
