13.2 Configuring the user screenform
When configuring your own measuring cycles, the vertical softkey 8 (VSK8) is
assigned a special meaning in the new cycles mask. All actions that the new
measuring cycle are to perform when the “NC Start” key is pressed must be
defined in a PRESS method for VSK8. If the “NC Start” key is pressed, NC code
is generated, and written to a program where it is processed; i.e. the function
Generate Code (GC) must be programmed in the PRESS method for VSK8 if
necessary. This, in turn means that an OUTPUT method must be defined.
Note
The VSK8 must not be pressed by the operator but is triggered internally when
the “NC Start” key is pressed. It should therefore not be labeled.
The toolbox contains a sample measuring cycle named E_DR_O1.SPF. The
associated operator interface is configured in file E_DR_O1.COM. The German
and English texts are stored in files E_MS_TXD.COM and E_MS_TXE.COM
respectively.
For information about installing the cycle, please refer to file readme.txt.
