CALC
ULATOR HELP DISPLAY
The Calculator is selected by pressing the HELP/CALC key a second time. There are five calculator
pages: Trig Help, Circular Interpolation Help, and Milling/Tapping Help, Circle Line Tangent Help and
Circle Circle Help. All of these calculator pages have a simple equation solver calculator an in the
upper left hand corner. All five calculator pages can be selected using the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys.
All of the Calculator Help pages have a calculator for simple add, subtract, multiply, and divide operations.
When one of these calculator pages (Trig, Circular, Milling and Tapping, Circle Line Tangent, or Circle Circle
Tangent) is selected, a calculator window will be in the upper left corner of the screen, and below it the possible
operations ( LOAD + - * and / ). LOAD is initially highlighted, and the other options can be selected with the
left and right cursor arrows. Numbers are entered by typing them in on the lower left corner of the screen and
pressing the WRITE key. When a number is entered and LOAD is selected, that number will be entered
directly into the calculator window. When a number is entered and one of the other functions (LOAD, + ,-, *, / )
is selected, that calculation will be performed with the number in the input buffer and any number that was
already in the calculator window.
The calculator will also accept a mathematical expression, typed in the input buffer, such as 23*4-5.2+6/2. It
will evaluate it (doing multiplication and division first) and place the result, 89.8 in this case, wherever the
cursor is placed, in any of the calculator selected locations.
F3 In EDIT and MDI modes the F3 key will copy the highlighted triangle/circular/milling/tapping value into
the input buffer at the bottom of the screen. This is useful when you want to use a calculator solution
that was done for a program command.
In the Calculator Help display, this button copies the number in the calculator box to the cursor highlighted
entry for on any of the calculators.
F4 This button in the Calculator display pages uses the cursor selected value in the Trig, Circular, Milling/
Tapping, Circle Line Tangent, or Circle Circle Tangent data value and will perform the cursor selected sign
(+ ,-, *, /) that is below the box with any number already in box.
If any of the calculator numbers has a highlighted title next to it, then it is a calculated value and cannot be
written over. If you try to enter in a number over a calculated number, you’ll get the message “INVALID NUMBER”
at the bottom of screen. To clear a number, cursor on a number that does not have a highlighted title next to it,
and press enter with no numbers in the input buffer. To Clear all numbers in the calculators, press RESET.

The Trig Help page will help you solve a triangular problem. You enter the lengths and the angles of a triangle and
when enough data has been entered, the control will solve for the triangle, show the triangle, and display the rest
of the values. Use the CURSOR up and down arrows to select the value to be entered with WRITE/ENTER.

ELP PAGE
The Circular Help page will help you solve a circle problem. You enter the center, radius, angles, start and end
points and when enough data has been entered, the control will solve for the circular motion and display the
rest of the values. Use the CURSOR up and down arrows to select the value to be entered with WRITE/ENTER.
In addition, it will list the four ways that such a move could be programmed with a G90 or G91. You can select
one of those four lines using the CURSOR up or down arrow keys. Then it can be copied into the input buffer
line of either EDIT or MDI by pressing F3 to be able to enter it into the program you are editing.
For the circular inputs that have more than one solution, entering the last data value a second time will cause
the next possible solution to be displayed.
The DIRECTION CW or CCW entry is changed to the G02/G03 value by pressing WRITE/ENTER.
