Working with the TURNguide

Calling the TURNguide
There are several ways to start the TURNguide:
Press the Info key if the control is not already
showing an error message
First click the help symbol in the lower right-hand
corner of the screen, then click the appropriate
soft key
If one or more error messages are waiting for your
attention, the control shows the help directly associated
with the error messages. To start the TURNguide, you
first have to acknowledge all error messages.
When the help system is called on the programming
station, the control starts the internally defined standard
browser (usually the Internet Explorer), or otherwise a
browser adapted by HEIDENHAIN.
For many soft keys there is a context-sensitive call through which
you can go directly to the description of the soft key's function.
This functionality requires using a mouse.
Proceed as follows:
Select the soft-key row containing the desired soft key
Click with the mouse on the help symbol that the control
displays just above the soft-key row
The cursor turns into a question mark.
Move the question mark to the soft key for which you want an
explanation
The control opens the TURNguide.
If no specific part of the help is assigned to the selected soft
key, the control opens the book file, main.chm, in which you
can use the full text search function or the navigation to find the
desired explanation manually.
Even if you are editing a cycle, context-sensitive help is available:
Select any cycle
Press the Info key
The control starts the help system and shows
a description for the active function (does not
apply to miscellaneous functions or cycles that
were integrated by your machine tool builder).
