Sequence of operations
"JOG" mode is selected in the "Machine" operating area.

Position the cursor on the handwheel of your choice (1-3).
An axis identifier is suggested in the "Axis" field. All other existing

immediately and an axis is assigned to each handwheel (1-3).
Every time you press the "Toggle" key in the "Active" field you activate
or deactivate enabling of the relevant handwheel. The settings
become active immediately.
When you turn the handwheel, the assigned axis traverses by the
number of increments that have been set for it (Inc keys).

The machine manufacturer is responsible for the design of
