Data Input
Data are entered and edited in input windows. An
input window consists of several input fields. You
position the cursor with the touch pad or with the
page up/page down keys to the input box.
Once the cursor is located in the box, you can enter
your data. Existing data are overwritten. With the
right/left arrow keys you can place the cursor on a
position within the input box in order to delete or add
characters. The up/down arrow keys or Enter confirm
and terminate the entry.
Some dialogs have more input fields than a window
can show. In these cases, more than one input
window appears on the screen, one superimposed on
the other. You will recognize this through the window
number in the top line. To toggle between input
windows, use the Page Up/Page Dn keys.
By pressing the ”OK” button, you confirm the data
entered or edited. Independent of the position of the
cursor, you can press the INS key as an alternative. If
you leave the input window by pressing the ”Cancel”
button or the ESC key, entries or changes will be lost.
If the dialog consists of more than one input window,
you already confirm the data when pressing the
PageUp/PageDn key.
Buttons
The CNC PILOT allows you to choose various options
via different buttons such as the ”OK” and ”Cancel”
buttons for terminating a dialog box or the buttons
contained in the ”Extended inputs” window.
Select the required button and press ENTER.
Note: Instead of selecting the ”OK” or ”Cancel”
button, you can press the INS or ESC key.
