System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION
F7 (Menu) Main-Run-Menu
The F7 (Menu) key selected from the Run or Verify screen brings up a window containing a
listing of all the available programs, which may be run. The screen shown below will be dis-
played when the program menu is requested.
To activate one of the programs listed in the window, use the arrow and page keys to move the
cursor to the desired program and press F5 (Enter), or Enter on the keyboard. The Menu
function can be called from other screens but works the same way from all. When called from
the Run or Verify screen, the selected program becomes the active program. When called from
an edit screen, the selected program becomes the current program being edited. F1 (Verf) will
graphically verify the part the curser is on. F6 (Togle) will display the file size, last time and date
it was edited, and seven characters for the file name. Subdirectories are specified by <DIR> as
the file name. The “..” specifies the parent to the current directory. If you press the HELP (Drive)
key, a list of the available drives is displayed.
Note: The file name is enclosed in parentheses. If there are no parentheses on the first block,
the file name is the first block. Pressing the “D” key toggles the menu to and from “Full Dos
Filenames”. Pressing the “N” key toggles sorting files by filename and file description.
F8 (Dry) Main-Run-Dry
When the F8 (Dry) is active, all program feedrates will run at the dry run feedrate.
Note: The spindle commands can be ignored during dry run by setting a parameter.
Switching to or from Dry Run cannot be done if the program is running. The machine must first
be F9 (Halt)ed, switched to or from F8 (Dry) Run, and then F9 (Resum)ed. The F8 (Dry) key
will not be visible if the program is running.
