.3 Edit Help
Help Graphic Screens
The Edit Help allows a G-Code to be programmed using a form. The
form contains parameters for the G-Code, and a graphic parameter aid
for each.
When the 3500i activates a help graphic screen, its first entry field is
highlighted. A highlight indicates that values can be typed in an entry
field, or make the appropriate selection.
 Press ENTER to move the highlight to the next entry
field.
 Press the Arrows to move the highlight between entry
fields without typing values. Touch Clear to clear an
entry field.
 In the last entry field of the help graphic screen, touch
Use to add the block to the Program Listing.
 Touch Cancel to exit without making a change.
There are two types of entry fields:
Required entry fields contain a default value placeholder. A value must
be typed in for operation of canned cycle, or other command.
If a new value is not entered for a required field, the 3500i writes the
block using the 0.0000 default. This may generate an error message
when the program runs.
Optional entry fields are blank, indicating that a value is only necessary
if needed by the specific task.
Optional entry fields do not require a value. When left blank, a default
value, or position is usually assumed.
 Press the (+/-) key to insert a negative sign.
 Touch the CLEAR key to clear an entry.
Remember: Using the Exit button saves all changes
made. Quit a program, and the changes are not saved.
