ALPHA KEYS
A - Z Alphabet Keys
The alpha keys allow a user to enter the 26 letters of the alphabet along with some other special
characters. Pressing Shift and EOB will give you a forward slash ( / ), or pressing one of the
parenthesis will give you either of the brackets. Also, pressing SHIFT and then a letter is a way to
enter in lower case text letter in-between Parentheses.
( ) Parenthesis
Parenthesis are used to separate program text information from CNC program commands. They
must always be entered (Left and then Right parenthesis) as a pair. Any time an invalid line of
code is received through the RS-232 port, it will be entered into the program between parentheses.
If a (text name) is in between parenthesis on a program, after the program number, and is within
the first two lines of a program, that text program name will appear with program number in the
List of Programs.
The SHIFT key provides access to the white characters shown in the upper left corner on some of
the alphanumeric keyboard buttons. Pressing SHIFT and then the desired white character, will
enter that character into the input buffer. Pressing SHIFT and a letter (A-Z) will enter in that letter
in lower case (a-z) for text between Parentheses. Hold the SHIFT key down for successive lower
case letters between Parentheses.
This key enters in an End-Of-Block character, which is displayed as a semicolon ( ; ) on the Haas
display screen and signifies the end of a program block.

These are additional symbols (white symbols on keypad), accessed by pressing the SHIFT
key, that can be used in parenthetical comments. ALPHA KEYS: The alpha keys allow the user
