The above listed units (monitor and keyboard) constitute the permanent part of NC and are transported together with the control in any case of configuration.

The NC keyboard is fitted with repeater-type keys. This means

)that a depressed key produces an immediate effect,

)that a held-down key produces an effect again after a programmed delay (Typematic Delay),

)that, with the key held down permanently, the appropriate code will be entered into the

CPU of the system over and over again at a programmed rate (Typematic Rate). The delay (TD) and the rate (TR) can be set with the help of parameter 1121 TYPEMATIC (for details see Parameters).

in the bottom line are the fields of current captions of softkeys,

above - in the middle of screen - is the general displaying area,

while the top three lines form the status bar.

The Status Bar

The top three lines give a general outlook on the present status of control and machine tool. The content of this displaying area is permanent, no matter which general screening area is selected.
