Number Name Explanation
1 RESET key Press this key to reset the CNC, to cancel an alarm, etc.
2 HELP key Press this button to use the help function when uncertain about the operation of an MDI
key (help function).

Soft keys
The soft keys have various functions, according to the Applications.
The soft key functions are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Press the inside of the rectangle area of the soft key button on the screen, when the
CNC with the touch panel function is used.
The button of the soft key becomes dented and indicated.
And, the same operation treatment as the present soft key is done.
4 Address and numeric
keys
,
Press these keys to input alphabetic, numeric, and other characters.
5 SHIFT key Some keys have two characters on their keytop. Pressing the <SHIFT> key switches
the characters. Special character # is displayed on the screen when a character
indicated at the bottom right corner on the keytop can be entered.
6 INPUT key When an address or a numerical key is pressed, the data is input to the buffer, and it is
displayed on the screen. To copy the data in the key input buffer to the offset register,
etc., press the key. This key is equivalent to the [INPUT] key of the soft keys, and
either can be pressed to produce the same result.
7 Cancel key
Press this key to delete the last character or symbol input to the key input buffer.
When the key input buffer displays
>N001X100Z_
and the cancel <CAN> key is pressed, Z is canceled and
