Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Using Context Sensitive Help

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.
