With the softkey "Search" you can define a search text in an input
window, which you can search under
· "Instruction text only"
· "Descriptive text only"
· "Instruction and descriptive texts".
No distinction is made between upper and lower case.
With "Input" or "Start search" a search is made using the defined
search text in accordance with the instruction or descriptive part. Any
matching instructions or descriptions found during the search are
displayed.
Notes for setting the help system in the editor
The editor help uses a standard text file (see /IAM/, "Installation and
Start-up Guide IM4", Chapter "Help in editor"), which contains topics
and instructions with descriptive text.
If you want to create an end user text file for the help in order to
record your own instructions/topics, you can enter the path\name of
the text file under softkey "Settings" in an input window as "end user
text file".
You can also change the context sensitivity under "Settings".
You can choose between:
· "Display with same initial wording" (extended context sensitivity)
and
· "Display with identical wording"
If, for example, in the option "Display with same initial wording" the
cursor is located to the right of the instruction "G4", all instructions
with the same initial wording, e.g. "G40, G41, G42" are also
displayed.
With "Display with identical wording" the current instruction, e.g. "G4"
is displayed.
The settings are activated by restarting the help system.
If you select the individual descriptions in the full overview with the
cursor key, you can jump directly to the Programming Guide, for
example, with the "info" key, if the symbol for the info key is displayed
on the bottom right part of the screen (see Fig. below).
