SETUP

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 {SELECT UPPER} or {SELECT LOWER} 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.
