Technology Tips and Tricks

Concepts such as 'electronics' and 'programming' have gained in importance. Consequently, the need for assistance has dropped quite considerably since a large part of the electronic and computerised functions comprise tests and fail-safe devices which have been designed by the design engineer and prevent collision, for example.

help

Less than a decade ago, every machine tool was accompanied by a mass of catalogues, methods of use, operating instructions and so on... Nowadays, this back-up is incorporated into the software. What is more, its volume has been reduced considerably because the mechanical part of the machine has been reduced to its very basics.

Concepts such as 'electronics' and 'programming' have gained in importance. Consequently, the need for assistance has dropped quite considerably since a large part of the electronic and computerised functions comprise tests and fail-safe devices which have been designed by the design engineer and prevent collision, for example.

On-line screen help with TB-Deco software is divided up into four different sections:

  • help with handling the TB-Deco
  • help with basic programming
  • help with programming for a specific machine
  • help with errors generated by the TB-Deco
As with all software working in Windows, help can either be called up directly by pressing the special function key [F1] or by way of the icon which can be selected and placed at the point where help is required. The aim of on-line TB-Deco assistance is to provide a rapid response to the problem encountered in the programming or use of the TB-Deco, without having to delve into the printed operating instructions manual.

First example
Requesting help when writing a G or M code immediately after the operation.
Proceed as follows :
1. Key in the code in question (e.g. G84)
2. Press [F1]
3. Help text relating to the code keyed in is displayed ; in this case, the programming aid describing the G84 function.

Second example
An error message appears during interpretation of a program. Since this message is not detailed enough, you require more information.
Proceed as follows :
1. Press [F1]
2. The error aid is displayed and provides a full explanation of the problem.

Other possibilities: from the Exit window, use the mouse to get onto the linde containing the error and then press [F1].
