Summary of Keyboard Commands
When the Shift, Ctrl or Alt keys are pressed, a menu of the available commands is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Pressing the key multiple times will scroll through the entire list of commands available with that key.
To change most parameters, cursor to the field and enter a new value. To see the help file of a parameter, press Ctrl-H
when the cursor is on that field. To enter hex numbers, type a "0" (the number zero) as the left-most digit of the
number. After typing the desired new value, DCS120 will accept the input a soon as you hit Enter or move the cursor
to a new location.
NOTE: New values are not automatically transferred to the Motion Control Module. An Alt-P command must be issued to
transfer initialization parameters.
On color monitors the initialization parameters are displayed in gray to indicate parameters have not been transferred.
Use an Alt-P command on each axis to transfer the parameters to the Motion Control Module. (The screen display of
the parameters changes from gray to white after an Alt-P is issued.)
