Expanding an instruction

Expanding an instruction
An instruction contains description texts, e.g. "G0/linear interpolation with rapid
traverse". The category ID is used to assign instructions to the category.
Parameters of the instruction definition
An instruction definition contains the following parameters:
Technology/Category ID/Extended Help/Instruction text/Descriptive text
Example for Editor Help
a/20/"PGA.PDF",2,"="/=/Assignment operator
a
20
"PGA.PDF",2,"="
=
Assignment operator
When the above line is entered in one of the user text files (e.g. IFM_GR.COM),
the "pga.pdf" Help file for command "=" is called and the corresponding section of
the Help file is displayed.
Example for Cycle Help:
m/14/"PGZ.PDF",302,"CYCLE83"/CYCLE83/Milling cycle Deep-hole
drilling
m
14
"PGZ.PDF",302,"RTP"

Milling cycle Deep-hole drilling Descriptive text
After the above line has been entered in one of the user text files, the user cycle
"CYCLExx" is supported within the Help system. It is displayed if either of the
following are entered in the "If.ini" initialization file:
•
The technology-independent identifier "a"
•
The specific milling machine identifier "m"
The cycle is assigned to "Standard cycles" via category ID "14", i.e. it can also be
found by making the appropriate entry in the category search.
The last parameter of the definition contains the descriptive text that is displayed in
the corresponding column of the Help system to provide the user with basic
information about the function of the cycle.
The "/" character separates the parameters and may only be used as a text
character in the last parameter.
