6.15 Overwrite Q-parameters
The values in the Q-Parameters Q100 to Q107 can be overwritten by the PLC. In this way
information from the PLC can be transferred to the machining program.
The value which is to be transferred is stored in Doubleword D528. The Q-parameter which is to be
overwritten is defined in Word W516. The transfer is initiated by the strobe-marker M2713.
The Doubleword D528 has a multiple usage. See also Sections "PLC positioning" and "Datum-shift."

6.16 Color adjustment
The BC 110 (only TNC 406) is a 14 inch color graphics screen with a resolution of 640 x 490 pixels.
The colors in the screen-display can be selected by machine parameter. For example, the colors can
be adjusted to suit the corporate image of the machine tool builder image or the design of the
machine.
The following color adjustments cannot be altered by machine parameters:
–
HEIDENHAIN company logo after switching on the machine (GREEN),
– flashing error messages (RED),
– error message for invalid machine parameter (RED),
– plan view in the graphics display (BLUE),
– cursor (always inverse).
The entry values for color adjustment are byte-oriented. The preferred entry is hexadecimal.
Color Red Green Blue
HEX Ranges 0 to 3 0 to F 0 to 3 0 to F 0 to 3 0 to F
Adjustment Coarse Fine Coarse Fine Coarse Fine

Since it is possible to make mistakes when setting the colors (e.g., red error messages on red
background), HEIDENHAIN recommends a standard color adjustment. This standard color setting is
the setting generally used by HEIDENHAIN and is prompted by the control system when creating
the MP list.
The new soft key "SETUP COLORS" (code number 98148) enables you to adjust the colors red,
green, and blue in the machine parameter for the respective color. You can mix the colors for
foreground and background separately and accepted the change with ENT. Pressing END terminates
without changing the color.
The standard color-adjustment is given in the following list.
