Abstract
On the graphical user interface of a numerical control, NC blocks are displayed in an overall functional display. An NC block is composed of a plurality of syntax elements, of which merely a subset is displayed in the overall functional display. In this context, one is able to configure which of the syntax elements is displayed. Only after one of the NC blocks is selected are all syntax elements of the selected NC block shown in a detailed display.
Claims16
A method, comprising:
- (a) displaying, on a first subsection of an electronic display device, an indication of at least one NC block of an NC program, the at least one NC block including a plurality of command parameters, the indication of the at least one NC block including a subset of the plurality of command parameters, the subset including less than all of the command parameters of the NC block;
- (b) predetermining the subset of the command parameters of the at least one NC block displayed in the first subsection of the electronic display device in the displaying step (a);
- (c) selecting, by an input device, an indication of an NC block displayed on the first subsection of the electronic display device in the displaying step (a);
- and
- (d) displaying, in a second subsection of the electronic display device, all of the command parameters of the NC block selected in the selecting step (c).

A device, comprising:
- an electronic display device configured to display, in a first subsection of the electronic display device, an indication of at least one NC block, the at least one NC block including at least one command parameter, and configured to display a subset of the NC block command parameters of the at least one NC block, the subset of the command parameters including less than all of the command parameters of the NC block;
- and
- an input arrangement adapted to select an indication of an NC block displayed on the first subsection of the electronic display device, the electronic display device configured to display, in a second subsection of the electronic display device, all of the command parameters of the NC block selected by the input arrangement.
A device, comprising:
- an electronic display device configured to display, in a first subsection of the electronic display device, an indication of at least one NC block, the at least one NC block including at least one command parameter, and configured to display a predetermined subset of the NC block command parameters of the at least one NC block, the subset of the command parameters including less than all of the command parameters of the NC block;
- and
- an input arrangement adapted to select an indication of an NC block displayed on the first subsection of the electronic display device, the electronic display device configured to display, in a second subsection of the electronic display device, all of the command parameters of the NC block selected by the input arrangement.
A method, comprising:
- (a) displaying, on a first subsection of an electronic display device, an indication of at least one NC block of an NC program, the at least one NC block including a plurality of command parameters, the indication of the at least one NC block including a subset of the plurality of command parameters, the subset including less than all of the command parameters of the NC block;
- (b) selecting, by an input device, an indication of an NC block displayed on the first subsection of the electronic display device in the displaying step (a);
- and
- (c) displaying, in a second subsection of the electronic display device, all of the command parameters of the NC block selected in the selecting step (b).
