Popup Menus
Popup menus are provided at certain program loca-
tions if the right mouse button is clicked. For
example, the context menu in the Edit Window or a
selection menu in Tools → CAM Editor for inserting or
deleting Fix Points. The popup menus are closed
automatically when the selected function is executed
or if any other location on the screen is clicked with
the left mouse button.
Function Keys
Frequently used functions are assigned to function keys:
[F1] Access on-line help
[F2] Skip to the next bookmark
[F3] Find next (if "Find" has been used)
[F4] Check the syntax of the program
[F5] Execute the program (see also Execute)
[F9] Single-step through the program (debug mode only)
[F11] Access on-line help for system process information
[F12] Open the "Command List" for simplified programming
The function keys will be described later in this chapter where appropriate.
[Esc] key
In standard Windows applications, the [Esc] key normally closes the currently active window. However, in
the APOSS Window, the [Esc] key will automatically open a connection to the default controller if no
controller has yet been connected. If a controller has already been connected, then the [Esc] key will abort
any program currently executing on the controller.
NB!:
If an executing program is aborted while the drive is rotating, then the drive will slow down with
the maximum allowed deceleration.
Reconnect a Lost Connection
When an active connection to a controller is lost (for example, if the controller is powered off or the commu-
nication line is disconnected), then the APOSS Window connected to that controller will display a "Lost
connection" message in its title bar. However, the window will remain "associated" with that controller.
Pressing [Esc] (or executing any command that needs to talk to the controller) will cause the APOSS
Window to attempt to reconnect to the same controller. This behavior becomes relevant only when there are
multiple controllers available on the communication line.
