Mode Key Details
The mode keys work differently than the other keys.
- The first column of keys puts the machine into a specific mode.
- The four keys to the right are commands related to that mode.
Example:
- Press LIST PROGRAM to take you to the screen listing the .nc programs.
- Press SELECT PROGRAM to select the program you have highlighted (using the cursor keys).
- This only works if you are in LIST PROGRAM mode
