Introduction to the Menu and Buttons in the Software Interface
Figure (9) – General view of the software interface's main menu and buttons.
## Main Menu and Button Functions
1. **Online**: Activates when the software connects to the controller.\
Appears gray when there is no connection or communication fails.
Z Axis, X Axis, Y Axis: Each axis can be active or inactive. Active axes are shown in color; inactive axes appear gray.
Note: This section may vary depending on the interface and may display all axes present in the current layout.
Alarm: Lights up when there is any error between the controller and motors or drivers.
Note: This icon activates in case of motor or driver errors.
Emergency: Activates when an emergency input fault is detected.
Note: Multiple emergency inputs can be defined depending on the device.
Absolut & Relative:
Absolut: Shows axis coordinates relative to the Home position.
Relative: Shows coordinates based on the Reference point.
Note: May vary based on interface and available axes.
Tool Path: Displays the machining path of the loaded file. You can view movement during simulation or operation.
Details: Displays file location (Work Size), job dimensions, and total job length. Use the mouse to zoom in/out and right-click to change views.
G-Code Viewer: Shows loaded G-Code files.
Details: Active G-Code lines are highlighted in different colors during operation.
Open: Used to load G-Code, DXF, or AutoCAD files.
Shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+O
Run: Starts the program execution.
Details: There may be multiple tabs depending on the interface.
Status Bar: Displays interface name, run time, and remaining time. Turns red in emergency or error.
Details: Double-click to access Debug Form.
Shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+PrtSc
Setting: Section for configuring all device parameters.
Minimize: Minimizes the software window.
Exit: Exits the software.
Velocity: Displays movement speed in toolpath.
Details: Not available in all interfaces but can be added if needed.
Home: Moves the machine slowly toward Home sensors to find zero point.
Note: Make sure axis direction, speed, and Home sensors are correctly set before pressing.
Shortcut: Alt+Home
Go Zero: Quickly moves the device to the Home position, assuming the zero point is already known. It does not seek sensors slowly.
Go Ref: Moves the machine to the workpiece zero or reference point.
Stop: Stops the current operation.
X0, Y0, Z0…: Click to set reference point for each axis; value appears next to the button.
Note: Adapts based on available axes in the current interface.
Shortcuts: Alt+X => X0, Alt+Y => Y0, Alt+Z => Z0
Velocity Text Box (X, Y, Z...): Enter movement speeds in mm/s for each axis. In Continuous mode, speed is multiplied by the Scroll percentage.
Jog mode: Applies the entered speed while holding the jog key.
Example: If Z axis velocity is set to 10 mm/s and Scroll is at 100%, pressing Z+ or Z− jog keys will move the axis at 10 mm/s.
Step Text Box (X, Y, Z...): Enter step distances for each axis. In Incremental mode, each jog press moves the axis by this step (adjusted by Scroll %).Example: Z-axis step is 50 mm, Scroll is 100% → axis moves 50 mm per jog press.
Simultaneous Axis Motion: Moves two axes at the same time, simulating simultaneous jog button presses with separate settings.
Continuous & Incremental: Toggle button that switches between modes:
Continuous: Axis moves while the jog button is held (see item 20).
Incremental: Axis moves a fixed distance per press (see item 21).
Scroll: Adjusts manual motion speed in Jog mode by percentage (used in items 20 & 21).
Jog Buttons (X+, X−, Y+, Y−, Z+, Z−, A+, A−): Used to manually move axes.
