This screen resembles the regular QuickCheck graphics screen with the

exception that it includes a window and different softkeys. Use the

window to define a new size and location for the tool path graphic display.

The area within the window will become your next screen. The crossed

lines (+) become the center of the screen. You must move the window to

the location that you want to zoom in on to make sure that it appears on

your next screen. It is helpful to run the program first so that you can see

the tool path. This helps you position the tool path within the window.

If you decide not to change the window size or location, press the

{ZOOM ABORT}

softkey to abort the operation and return to the graphics

screen.

Important: Any time you change the window size and/or location, the

control erases all tool paths from the screen. These tool paths cannot be

recovered. When returning to the graphics screen using a new window, the

graphics plot starts from the current tool position.
