WinMax Lathe NC Programming v546NC Documentation Conventions — ix
DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS
This documentation uses several conventions to explain the safety features and
emphasize key concepts. These conventions are described in this section.
Sample Screens
Sample screens in this documentation were taken from a WinMax single-screen control.
All screens are subject to change. The screens on your system may vary slightly.
Softkeys
Softkeys are located on the side of the screen. You can set the softkeys to appear on
either the right or left side of the screen. Refer to the Getting Started with WinMax for
information about making this selection. Softkeys may change upon field entries or other
softkey selection. References to softkeys in the documentation appear with the softkey’s
corresponding F-key. For example, the Part Setup softkey from the Input screen is
referenced as the PART SETUP F1 softkey.
Screen Areas
The screens are divided into the following areas, in addition to the row of softkeys:
Data Entry
The data entry area is located on the opposite side of the screen from the softkeys.
Available softkeys may change even when the text and data entry area does not.
Fields in the data entry area display or receive information. Refer to Using the
Touchscreen for information on entering information in fields.
Prompts and Error/Status Area
The bottom portion of the screen is reserved for prompts, program status and error
messages.
Prompts provide help on data entry selections based on the field with the blinking cursor.
Errors and status messages occur anytime the status or error occurs. They are not based
on the field with the blinking cursor. These messages provide machine information to the
operator.
Error messages may also stop and/or prevent machine operation until the cause of the
error is corrected.
Status Bar
The status bar contains

x - Documentation Conventions v546NC WinMax Lathe NC Programming
• The name of the open, selected program.
• A calculator icon—select the icon to display a working, on-screen calculator.
• Units of measure (Inch or Millimeters)—select the units of measure in the
status bar to toggle between Inch and Metric.
• Programming mode (R for Radius; D for Diameter)—select the programming
mode in the status bar to toggle between Radius and Diameter.
• A yellow icon—indicates the feed hold is on when visible.
• A red icon—indicates the Emergency Stop button has been pressed when
visible.
• A keyboard icon—select the icon to display a working on-screen keyboard.
• The current time.
When viewed on a single-screen console, all icons appear in the same status bar; when
viewed on a dual-screen console, the program name and calculator icon appear on the
left screen status bar, and the unit of measure, keyboard icon and time appear on the
right screen status bar.
Console Buttons and Keys
References to console buttons and keys appear in bold text throughout the
documentation. For example, the Start Cycle button appears as the Start Cycle button
and the Manual key appears as the Manual console key in text.
Refer to the Getting Started with WinMax manual for information about console buttons
and keys, in addition to other information about using softkeys and the pop-up text entry
window.
Using the Touchscreen
The console has a touchscreen for entering programming data. To make a selection, tap
the screen on a softkey, field, or drop-down list using the stylus attached to the side of
the console or another suitable pointing device.
Icons
This manual may contain the following icons:
Caution/Warning
The operator may be injured and/or the machine severely damaged if the
described procedure is not followed.
