2.7 TURNguide context-sensitive help system
Working with the TURNguide
Calling the TURNguide
There are several ways to start the TURNguide:
 Press the Info key if the control is not already showing an error
message
 Click the help symbol at the lower right of the screen beforehand,
then click the appropriate soft keys
For many soft keys there is a context-sensitive call through which you
can go directly to the description of the soft key's function. This
functionality requires using a mouse. Proceed as follows:
 Select the soft-key row containing the desired soft key
 Click with the mouse on the help symbol that the control displays
just above the soft-key row: The mouse pointer turns into a question
mark.
 Move the question mark to the soft key for which you want an
explanation, and click: The TNC opens the TURNguide. If no specific
part of the help is assigned to the selected soft key, the control
opens the book file main.chm, in which you can use the search
function or the navigation to find the desired explanation manually.
Even if you are editing a cycle, context-sensitive help is available:
 Select any cycle.
 Press the Info key: The control start the help system and shows a
description for the active function (does not apply to miscellaneous
functions or cycles that were integrated by your machine tool
builder)
If one or more error messages are waiting for your
attention, the control shows the help directly associated
with the error messages. To start the TURNguide, you
first have to acknowledge all error messages.
When the help system is called on the programming
station, the control starts the internally defined standard
browser (usually the Internet Explorer), or otherwise an
adapted browser.
