6 – Special Setups

Date: Enter the current date.

Time: Enter the current time. This is the time that is displayed on the main screen.

Display Time: Select whether the display time is shown in either AM/PM format or 24-hour clock format.

Mouse Pointer: Select On to use an external mouse or touchscreen.

Touchscreen Installed: Choose Installed if your control has a touchscreen. Choose Not Installed to enable keyboard

control of the soft keys and other controls on the screen, and to display keyboard shortcuts on the screen.

Keyboard: Select Not Installed to use the on-screen keypad. Select Installed to use an external keyboard.

Language: Select the language that is displayed on the CNC from the available languages stored on the CNC.

Languages can be added to the CNC by performing the standard software update with a language-specific
update file. Some languages also require the installation of a font viewer to properly display characters.

To change to a different language, select the desired language and press the OK soft key. You must restart
the CNC for the new language to be displayed.

User Level: Select the user experience level. The level you select determines the screens and the features that are

available. For example, the intermediate level provides a larger preview area and an ALT soft key to access
additional screens.

File Extensions: Enter the file extensions of the part files that will be accepted at the control.

Status/Feature: Enable or disable software features. See the Status Feature List section later in this chapter.

Tools Installed: Selects the cut processes available to the CNC operator, for example, Plasma 1 and Marker 1. Tools

Installed also enables the Process screens for the selected cut processes.

Status/Message or Wizard: Enable or disable system messages. See the Status/Message or Wizard List section later

in this section.

Zero Positions: Determines whether the CNC operator has the ability to zero positions. When disabled, the zero

positions soft key is grayed out and is unavailable to the operator.

Oxyfuel Cut Charts: Before Phoenix software version 9.72.0, the oxyfuel process did not use cut charts. In Phoenix

9.72.0 and higher, selecting oxyfuel as one of the Tools Installed on the Special Setups screen enables cut
charts for oxyfuel processes. You can disable the use of oxyfuel cut charts so the your oxyfuel cut jobs will
run as they did before Phoenix 9.72.0.

Machine Position Resets: If this setting is enabled, it resets the absolute machine position when the Zero Positions

soft key is pressed. Only the current incremental motion (part) position is reset to zero. Position information
based on homing is not lost.

Auto Update Max Consumable Life: If this feature is enabled, it tracks the consumable life values beyond the

user-defined set point and assigns that maximum value as the new set point. If this feature is disabled, the
user-defined set point for maximum consumable life is not updated.

Latch Manual Keys: Enables or disables the Latch Manual Key feature which allows the manual motion keys to remain

on with a single key press.
