Toggling between the channels
Note
2-channel display
Contrary to the smaller operator panels, in the "Machine" operating area, for a 2-channel view,
the TFS window is visible.
Program operating area
In the editor, just as many programs are displayed next to one another as in the "Machine"
operating area.
Displaying a program
You can define the width of the program in the editor window using the settings in the editor.
This means that you can distribute programs evenly - or you can display the column with the
active program wider.
Simulation
In the simulation window, actual values are displayed for a maximum of 4 channels
simultaneously as well as the actual block.
You can toggle between displaying the traversing paths and the channel zero point using the
"Channel+" and "Channel-" softkeys.
Axes, which are located in several channels, are displayed grayed-out if the setpoint comes
from a different channel.
Channel status
When required, channel messages are displayed in the status display.
