VUE Hard Keys
Hard keys on the VUE readouts vary depending on the number of axis
the readout includes. A one axis readout will only have the first three
hard keys shown below. A two, or three axis readout will have all the
hard keys shown below.
The last two keys are specific to a VUE readout that is either for
milling, or turning. The first symbol applies to a milling readout, and the
second symbol applies to a turning readout.
