Supervisor Setup
Configuring joystick and footswitch buttons
Use the Buttons screen in systems that include CNC functions to assign frequently used QC5200 system
functions to joystick and optional foot switch buttons. Using preassigned buttons saves the time normally
required to navigate menus to invoke frequently used functions.
Click the Tools/Options/Buttons menu item to dis-
play the Buttons screen.
Each of the joystick and foot switch buttons can be
assigned to 1 of 14 QC5200 system functions in
the Buttons screen. Thereafter, pressing the button
invokes the assigned function.
Level-based button functions
Many button functions are invoked only once when
the button is pressed. Others can be configured to
be momentary (level-based) or to toggle functions
on or off. Momentary functions are active only
while the button is pressed and held. Toggle func-
tions are activated when the button is pressed and
deactivated when the button is pressed again.
Button functions that are invoked
only once
Button functions that are invoked only once when
the button is pressed include:
• Measure: OK

• Measure: Cancel
• View from probe

NOTE
None of the eight button functions listed above can be configured as momentary (level-
based).
