1 Introduction - SINUMERIK 840C and its Operation
MMC areas
MS-Windows
Task manager
or
1-10
These areas provide the user with information on data in the MMC. The mode
is not displayed in the MMC areas.
The user interface in these areas of the SINUMERIK 840C is based on MS-
WINDOWS. You will probably be familiar with the windowing technology
used here.
In MS-Windows, there is a separate window for each MMC area. If another
MMC area is selected, the original window is overlaid.
You can use the task manager to switch between the different MMC areas
(windows). If you call an MMC area that you have already deselected, the last
display for that area is automatically displayed again. Menu storage as featured
in the NCK area is therefore not necessary.
You can call the task manager using the "Page" keys in Area Switchover.

With SINUMERIK 840C OEM Version for Windows, the applications can be
controlled using both the standard MS-WINDOWS operating elements and
softkeys.
