To select an axis position data display :
1. Press the [DISP SELECT] key, to display the softkeys for selecting
axis position data screens. Press the [DISP SELECT] key at any time
from any softkey level. Pressing the page {
→
} softkey displays
additional selections.
Important: The [DISP SELECT] key is ignored if you are viewing the PAL
search monitor utility. You must select the screen to display before you
access PAL search monitor. Additionally you can not activate PAL search
monitor while viewing the Display Select options.
2. Press the softkey corresponding to the display wanted. The softkeys
will toggle between large, small, and regular display mode each time
the corresponding softkey is pressed, provided that screen is available
as a large display.
The “large” and “small” display is available only for the axis position
screens (Program, Absolute, Target, and Distance to Go). Small
displays are only available when more than 9 axes are AMPed in a
system or, for dual process, more then 8 axes in a process.
For example, immediately after power up and accessing the
[DISP SELECT] feature, pressing the {DTG} softkey displays the
distance to go in normal size. Pressing it again changes the display
to show the distance to go in large character size.
The control can display any 4 axes in triple-height characters and any
6 axes in double-height characters. If you ask the control to display
more than 6 axes on a large display or 9 axis on a normal display, the
control displays the error message, “TOO MANY AXES
SELECTED FOR DISPLAY.” Small displays always show all axes
in the system in the active process.
