7.6 Softkeys within Events
Once a geometry (Event) such as MILL or BOLT HOLE is selected, the softkeys will
change.
Soft keys used while programming an event.
DATA BOTTOM: puts the Highlight on the last input.
INSERT EVENT: use this to insert a new event into the program. This new event will
take the place of the one that was on the right side of the screen when you pressed the
INSERT EVENT key. That previous event, and all the events that follow, increase their
event number by one. For example, if you started with a program of four events, if you
were to press the INSERT EVENT key while Event 3 was on the right side of the screen,
the previous Event 3 would become Event 4 and the previous Event 4 would become
Event 5. If you insert a Subroutine event, the event numbers will increase by one as
when you insert another kind of event. If you insert a copy event, the event numbers will
increase by the number of events that are copied.
DELETE EVENT: this will delete the event on the right side of the screen.
7.7 Programming Events
Once you press the appropriate GO TO soft key, you will begin to define your part as a
series of Events. For the ProtoTRAK PMX CNC, an Event is a geometry, or a feature of
a part.
