14.20 Assistance for subroutines.

14.20.1 Subroutine help files.
Help files may be associated with each OEM subroutine (G180, G380, etc), user subroutine
(G500, G800, etc) and each global subroutine called upon using #MCALL or #PCALL and
they will be displayed while editing.
The help window is displayed while editing, after a blank space or tab following a G function
or following the name of the subroutine. The help window is only informative, it cannot be
accessed with the cursor nor browse through it. The help window closes with [ESC], deleting
the key word or going on to another line of the program.
The help window of the subroutines is only available when the editor uses the CNC language;
when the editor is enabled for the 8055 CNC, these helps are not available. The help window
of the subroutines is available even when the contextual helps of the editor are disabled.
When the help file is displayed, its text may be inserted into the part-program using the [INS]
key.
Edit the help files.
Each subroutine may have two help files; a text file (txt) and an image file (bmp). There's
no need to define both files; either one may be defined alone.
When the help window is only informative, it cannot be accessed with the cursor nor browse
through it with the page-up-down keys. This is why it is recommended to use short help files;
for example, that only contain the description of the parameters of the subroutine. Also, since
the text of the help file can be inserted into the program ([INS] key), the following is
recommended.
• That the help file contains the line calling the subroutine. Since the user must have written
part of the call to display the help window, the editor deletes the call before inserting the
help text.
• That all the lines of the help file follow the format of a CNC comment, except the line
containing the call to the subroutine.
Help file example for a subroutine.
G180 P0= P1= P2= P3= P4= P5=
#COMMENT BEGIN
---------------- G180 ----------------
P1 = Movement in X
P2 = Movement in Y
P3 = Movement in Z
P4 = Feedrate F
P5 = Speed S
--------------------------------------
#COMMENT END
Name and location of files.
Name of the help files.
The name of the files must follow the following rule:
Subroutine.
G180-G189
G380-G399
G500-G599
G800-G899
G8000-G8999
#MCALL
#PCALL
Name of the help files.
The name of the files must be the function it is associated with.
For example G180.txt y G180.bmp.
The name of the files must be the name of the subroutine.
For example subroutine.txt and subroutine.bmp.
