4.7 Context-Sensitive Help System

Application

The TNCguide context-sensitive help system includes the user
documentation in HTML format. The TNCguide is called with the
HELP key, and the TNC often immediately displays the information
specific to the condition from which the help was called (context-
sensitive call). Even if you are editing an NC block and press the HELP
key, you are usually brought to the exact place in the documentation
that describes the corresponding function.

The following user documentation is available in the TNCguide:

„

Conversational Programming User’s Manual (BHBKlartext.chm)

„

DIN/ISO User’s Manual (BHBIso.chm)

„

User’s Manual for Cycle Programming (BHBtchprobe.chm)

„

List of All Error Messages (errors.chm)

In addition, the main.chm "book" file is available, with the contents of
all existing .chm files.

Before you can use the TNCguide, you need to download
the help files from the HEIDENHAIN home page (see
"Downloading current help files" on page 142).

The TNC always tries to start the TNCguide in the
language that you have selected as the conversational
language on your TNC. If the files with this language are
not yet available on your TNC, it automatically opens the
English version.

As an option, your machine tool builder can embed
machine-specific documentation in the TNCguide. These
documents then appear as a separate book in the
main.chm file.
