Configuring additional settings
In order to configure the following settings you require the "slamconfig.ini" configuration file:
● Assigning a softkey position to a specific operating area.
● Creating a language-dependent text for the softkey.
● Displaying a symbol for the operating area on the softkey.
Creating the "slamconfig.ini" configuration file
Copy the "slamconfig.ini" and place the file in the same directory in which the
"systemconfiguration.ini" file is located:
<Installation path>/user/sinumerik/hmi/cfg
<Installation path>/oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg
"slamconfig.ini" file
In the "slamconfig.ini" configuration file, for every operating area, you can create a section that
was configured in the "systemconfiguration.ini" file. The section must bear the configured name
of the appropriate operating area, e.g. AreaOEM.
