soft key. The TNC then displays the following soft keys:
Overview
Soft key Function
FN 0: ASSIGN
e. g. FN 0: Q5 = +60
Directly assign value
Reset Q parameter value
FN 1: ADDITION
e.g. FN 1: Q1 = -Q2 + -5
Form and assign sum from two values
FN 2: SUBTRACTION
e. g. FN 2: Q1 = +10 - +5
Form and assign difference between two
values
FN 3: MULTIPLICATION
e. g. FN 3: Q2 = +3 * +3
Form and assign the product of two values
FN 4: DIVISION e.g. FN 4: Q4 = +8 DIV +Q2
Form and assign the quotient of two values
Not permitted:
FN 5: SQUARE ROOT e.g. FN 5: Q20 = SQRT
4 Form and assign the square root of a value
Not permitted:
