SINUMERIK 840C, OEM Version for Windows (BA)
Softkey: Key which is assigned a variable function or menu via a menu bar on
the screen.
Horizontal softkey bar (full keyboard): standard applications on the
SINUMERIK 840C are operated exclusively using the horizontal softkeys.
Vertical softkey bar (full keyboard): The designation SK1 to SK7 corresponds
to the designation on the additional key caps of the standard keyboard (see also
the illustration of the full keyboard). The vertical softkeys are not used in the
standard version and are therefore not displayed.
MACHINE AREA key. Press this key to switch from any user area to the
Machine area.
RECALL key: Return to the higher level menu
ETC key: Extension of the softkey bar in the same menu
DATA AREA key: the Area Switchover is selected (or deselected if it is
already selected) by pressing this key. When selected, the Area Switchover is
displayed for the currently active application.
SHIFT key: Switching over keys with double allocation; not self-retaining, i.e.
two keys must be activated.
With the combination SHIFT + DATA AREA, an NCK menu can be
reselected if it was deselected by another NCK application. It is thus possible
to move from an NCK menu (e.g. R parameter display) to a different
application in the NCK area (e.g. Machine) and then to return to the same point
in the parameter display.
