2.4 Explanation of Terms
„ Cursor: In lists, or during data input, a list item, an input field or a
character is highlighted. This "highlight" is called a cursor. Entries
and operations, like copying, deleting, inserting a new item, etc.,
refer to the current cursor position.
„ Arrow keys: The cursor is moved with the horizontal and vertical
arrow keys and with the PgUp/PgDn keys.
„ Page keys: The PgUp/PgDn keys are also called "Page keys."
„ Navigate: Within a list or an input box, you can move the cursor to
any position you would like to check, change, delete or add to. In
other words, you "navigate" through the list.
„ Active/ inactive windows, functions, menu items: Of all
windows that are displayed on the screen, only one is active. That
means, any data you type on the keyboard or keypad are entered in
the active window only. In the active window the title bar is shown
in color. In the inactive windows, the title bar appears dimmed.
Inactive function keys or menu keys also appear dimmed.
„ Menu, menu key: MANUALplus arranges the available functions
and function groups in a 9-field box. This box is called a menu. Each
symbol in the menu is a menu key.
„ Editing: Editing is changing, deleting and adding to parameters,
commands, etc. within programs, tool data or parameters.
„ Default value: If the parameters of cycles or DIN commands are
preassigned values, these values are referred to as default values.
These values are used if you do not enter the parameters.
„ Byte: The capacity of a storage disk is indicated in bytes. Since
MANUALplus features a hard disk, the individual program lengths
are expressed in bytes.
„ Extension: File names consist of the actual name and the
extension. The name part and the extension part are separated by
".". The extension indicates the type of file. Examples:
„ „*.NC“DIN programs
„ „*.NCS“DIN subprograms (DIN macros)
„ „*.MAS“Machine parameters
