Generating user dialogs
1
1.1 Scope of functions
Overview
The
"Generate user
dialogs" function offers an open structure and enables the user to develop
customer-specific and application-specific user interfaces in SINUMERIK Operate.
The control system offers an XML-based script language for generating user dialogs.
This script language makes it possible to display machine-specific menus and dialog forms in
the <CUSTOM> operating area in SINUMERIK Operate.
All dialog forms can be designed on a language-neutral basis. In such cases, the system reads
out the texts to be displayed from the accompanying language database.
