2.7 TURNguide context-sensitive

help system

Application

The TURNguide context-sensitive help system includes the user

documentation in HTML format. The TURNguide is called with the Info

key, and the TNC often immediately displays the information specific

to the condition from which the help was called (context-sensitive

call). Even if you are editing in a cycle and press the Info key, you are

usually brought to the exact place in the documentation that describes

the corresponding function.

The following user documentation is available in the TURNguide:

User’s Manual (BHBoperating.chm)

smart.Turn and ISO Programming (smartTurn.chm)

List of All Error Messages (errors.chm)

In addition, the main.chm "book" file is available, with the contents of

all existing .chm files.

Before you can use the TURNguide, you need to

download the help files from the HEIDENHAIN home

page (see "Downloading current help files" on page 69).

The control always tries to start the TURNguide in the

language that you have selected as the conversational

language on your control. If the files with this language are

not yet available on your control, it automatically opens

the English version.

As an option, your machine tool builder can embed

machine-specific documentation in the TURNguide.

These documents then appear as a separate book in the

main.chm

file.
