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 control 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.
