2.

Use the cursor keys on the operator panel to move the center of the

window around the screen. To move the window center at a faster

rate, press and hold the

[SHIFT]

key while pressing the cursor keys.

Important: On this screen, the machine information window cannot be

moved. The cursor keys are dedicated to the zoom window only.

If more than one window is displayed (as in the case of 3 axis

graphs), choose the window to move by pressing either the

{SELECT UPPER}

or

{SELECT LOWER}

softkey. This softkey toggles

between upper and lower each time that you press it. If both the

upper and lower graph have a common horizontal axis, the left and

right cursor keys move both windows. The current window that is

the active moveable window for the 3-axes graph is displayed with a

+ symbol in the center of the window.

Important: The

or

softkey is only

displayed if the control is currently using a 3-axes display for the graphics

screen.

If the center of the window is moved up against the boarder of the

displayed axis, the window size shrinks automatically. This keeps

the window within the active area of the tool paths. Otherwise, the

zoom window is displayed at a default size and the cursor keys only

move the window center.
