Context Sensitive Help

The Acu-Rite 3500i uses an intuitive method to aid the user when assistance is desired. When assistance is needed with a feature, the User Manual can be displayed directly at the point which describes the pertinent feature.

To use Help, as the example screen shows; the console is in Manual Data Input, and a Linear Engraving cycle is being programed. It is desired to see descriptions of the cycle parameters, and the cycle itself. The following steps describe the actions the user needs to take.

Using Context Sensitive Help

To activate the user assistance, first press the Help button.

This puts the control into the help selection mode.

At this time, touch the feature on the screen which you would like assistance with.

This will display a new window containing the section in the User Manual, opened directly to the description of the desired feature.

From there, you can also use the tree view on the left, or the navigation buttons at the top, to navigate, and view other sections of the User Manual.

To close the window and return to normal operation, press the Exit button at the top of the window.
