The HAAS Advanced Editor gives the user the ability to view and edit two CNC programs at a time. This makes
it easier to modify existing programs and to create new ones. The editor includes pull-down menus that allow
the user to access the features of the editor. Additionally, a context-sensitive help function is available to
provide information on all of the editors features.
The Advanced Editor is entered by pressing the EDIT key. The user can alternate between the Advanced Editor,
the 40 column editor, and Quick Code with successive presses of the PRGRM/CONVRS key.
Whenever the pull-down menu system is active, the current menu is pulled down and one item is highlighted.
The user can then use the jog handle to scroll through the menu items. The user can also use the up and down
arrow keys to scroll through the items of that menu, or use the left and right arrow keys to open other menus.
The UNDO key is used to deactivate the pull-down menu system. If UNDO is pressed after invoking an execut-
ing function from a pull-down menu, it will abort that function.
The EDIT key can be used to switch, left or right, between the two programs that have been selected to edit.
Pressing the F4 key will open another copy of the current program in the Advanced Editor. The user can quickly
edit two different locations in the same program by pressing F4, moving to the second location, and then using
the EDIT key to move back and forth between the two locations. If the user enters Onnnnn and then presses
F4, program Onnnnn is opened in the inactive window.
The following figure illustrates the layout of the advanced editor.
