4.3 Configuring the online help
4.3.1 Overview
In addition to the existing extensive online help, you also have the option of generating a
manufacturer-specific online help and then linking this into SINUMERIK Operate.
This online help is generated in the HTML format, i.e. it comprises HTML documents that are
linked with one another. The subject being searched for is called in a separate window from
a contents or index directory. Similar to a document browser (e.g. Windows Explorer), a list of
possible selections is displayed in the left-hand half of the window and when you click on the
required subject, the explanation is displayed in the right hand half of the window.
Context sensitive selection of online help pages is not possible.
Procedure
1. Generating HTML files
2. Generating a help book
3. Integrating the online help in SINUMERIK Operate
4. Saving help files
Other application cases
Online help for the following OEM-specific expansions can be created and used to supplement
the SINUMERIK Operate online help system:
● Online help for cycles and/or M functions of the machine manufacturer which extend the
programming options for SINUMERIK control systems. This online help is called in just the
same way as the SINUMERIK Operate online help "Programming".
● Online help for OEM-specific variables of the machine manufacturer. This online help is
called from the variable view of SINUMERIK Operate.
Programming online help
You can use the "SINUMERIK HMI programming package sl" for additional options for
configuring the online help. Using this programming package, it is possible to develop high-
level language applications in the C++ programming language for SINUMERIK Operate on
the NCU 7x0.
Note
The "SINUMERIK HMI programming package sl" must be ordered separately as a software
option. The associated documentation is provided together with the programming package.
