Setting the screen layout
You select the screen layout yourself: In the
Programming
mode of operation, for example, you can have the TNC show
program blocks in the left window while the right window displays
programming graphics. You could also display the program

blocks in one large window. The available screen windows depend
on the selected operating mode.
