Smithy Ez-Trol2 - Manual (Page 48)

1 NAVIGATION MENU
The navigation menu lets you do different operations on the Wizards Tab. It includes the follwing
operations:
a. NEW - lets you create a new parts program on the Wizards. You can also select the Add
New Operation from the Loaded Wizards Lis, denoted by the number 2 in figure 12:1.
b. OPEN - lets you open a saved G-code program or operation that is not on the “Loaded
Wizards List”.
c. SAVE - lets you store any G-code program or operation on the database for future use.
Saving the G-Code and the ‘ezw’ wizard file is set in the Ini file.[DISPLAY][PROGRAM_PRE
FIX] should point to where G-codes should be saved and opened from. Unfortunately, Qt
doesn’t recognize the “~” character as a shortcut and might be a cause of error. [EZTROL
WIZARDS][SAVE_ DIRECTORY] specify where the wizard ‘ezw’ files will be saved but
users can browse to another location to save the file.
d. SAVE AS - lets you rename any exisitng saved program.
e. SEND TO CONTROL - Once you have finished building up the combination of Wizards
for your desired operations you can then click the 'Send to Control' button to pass all this
information to the EZ-Trol Auto Page. The data transfers automatically, and will be ready
to run as a machining file. You can also save it as an EZW file which can be opened later by
clicking the Open button.
2 LOADED WIZARDS LIST
This section lists all the wizards you have added. Every new wizard you add will be added on as the
last item to the list of selected Wizards. This will push down 'Add New Operation' and 'End of G-
code' on the screen.
You can also rearrange the order of wizards as you determine the best order for fulfilling your
desired operation. Right Click on a desired item and you will be shown an option to Move Up, Move
Down or Delete the operation.
Each wizard type has an associated icon for easy identification and you can rename each Wizard
operation on it’s respective page.
