Views
"Views" are provided to allow the user to define the values, which are relevant for a specific
machining situation and to determine how (in lines and columns, with what text) these values
must be displayed. Several views can be arranged in groups and stored in correspondingly
named files.
Managing views
A view defined by the user can be stored under a name of his choice and then called again.
Variables included in a view can still be modified (Edit View).
Displaying main run variable of a view
