The next subsequent line will start of with upper case letters, since it
is a new line of text.
In order to place a space between words or symbols is to press [è], then
continue typing. This will add a space as the text is being typed on the
line.
If the [è] was not pressed and a space is required, there is no
‘Backspace’ or ‘Delete’ button on the HHC. The [è] button will not add
a space, or over-type a letter with a space. The simplest method to add
a space to the already typed text, is to clear the line using [CLEAR],
then re-type the line.
If any of the text symbols need to be placed on a text line, either as part
of the weld procedure name or procedure description, this too is easily
done with the HHC keypad. Many of the same text buttons used for typing
also contain a symbol character; these are obtainable by first pressing
[éSYMBOLS] followed by the required button.
For example: If a ‘#’ symbol needs to be added to the line developed
above, move the cursor to the end of the word using [ç] button. Followed
by [éSYMBOLS] once, then by ‘#’ [é%CURRENT], then [ENTER]. This
will finish the line... Weld#.
All text buttons are defaulted to the available text character; should a
series of text symbols be required on the text line, simply press the
[éSYMBOLS] button once. After pressing this button, all text symbol
buttons pressed will type that symbol. To return to the text characters,
press the [éSYMBOLS] button once again, this will toggle from the text
symbols to the text characters.
3.7 Numeric Buttons
The white buttons in the middle of the HHC keypad, are used for numerical
data entry. These buttons are active any time the highlighted cursor box is
on a text line field, weld procedure parameter line, or at any other point in the
program which requires a number value or numerical identification.
These buttons are single function only, meaning that there are no other
functions connected to these buttons, which may confuse or distract the
operator.
3.8 Service Buttons
In the upper right-hand corner of the HHC keypad are two blue buttons, these
are [HELP] and [PRINT SCREEN].
The [HELP] button will aid the operator in giving an explanation, on screen,
of exactly the field or section the operator is working in.
For example: If the operator is editing a weld procedure, and he is at
the point of choosing procedure options, such as pre- and post-weld
homing, he may press the [HELP] button to get a summary of the
options available to him.
The [PRINT SCREEN] button will allow the operator to produce, on the
factory-supplied printer, a hard copy printout of exactly what is on the
screen. This button can be pressed at any time during the welding and
testing operation in order to produce this printout.
4. Keyboard Functions
Like using the HHC, the factory supplied PC keyboard can be used to fully
operate the ACL welding program. Not only are the keys on the keyboard
used for entering text and numbers but many are also utilized as program
function commands.
Described in the next section are the many keystrokes used on the keyboard
in order to achieve the exact commands as found on the HHC.
