1.5 Special features of the demo
version
General information
After you have installed the programming station on your PC, you can
call the TNC features with your standard PC keyboard for test
purposes. All features of the respective TNC are available. As an
alternative, you can also use the virtual keyboard for the demo version
(see "Showing the virtual keyboard" on page 37).
The demo version of the programming station permits you
to save up to 100 NC blocks per NC program.
Starting the demo version
After you have started the demo version of the programming station
using the Windows Start menu, a pop-up window appears and informs
you about the special features of the demo version. In this case,
proceed as follows:
To confirm the information about the demo version, press the ENT
key on the TNC's virtual keyboard. If you are using the standard PC
keyboard, press the ENTER key of your keyboard. Then the TNC
software closes the pop-up window and displays the Power
interrupted message.
To confirm the power interruption, press the CE key on the TNC
keyboard again. If you are using the standard PC keyboard, press the
comma (,) key of your keyboard. If you are using a laptop, activate
the NUM LOCK function and then press the period (.) key in the
numeric keypad of your keyboard. The programming station
software is now ready for use in the Manual Operation mode.
