Explanation With the "End" hardkey you can call up an info window for any machine data on
which the cursor is placed (not in Machine configuration). Minimum and
maximum values, the internal representation, any relationships with other
machine data and any inputs if they exist (e.g. yes/no) are displayed next to the
text and number.
In SW 4 and higher, an optional fixed text can be assigned to any individual ma-

In SW 4 it is also possible to select transformation blocks and configurations.
Increment/decrement The values of certain machine data can be altered either in percent or by
