Acu-Rite CNC 3500i User Manual

ACU-RITE 3500i

The Edit Help allows a G-Code to be programmed using a form. The 
form contains parameters for the G-Code, and a graphic parameter aid 
for each.

When the 3500i activates a help graphic screen, its first entry field is 
highlighted. A highlight indicates that values can be typed in an entry 
field, or make the appropriate selection.



Press ENTER to move the highlight to the next entry 

field.



Press the Arrows to move the highlight between entry 

fields without typing values. Touch Clear to clear an 
entry field.



In the last entry field of the help graphic screen, touch 

 to add the block to the Program Listing.



Touch Cancel to exit without making a change.

There are two types of entry fields:

Required entry fields contain a default value placeholder. A value must 
be typed in for operation of canned cycle, or other command. 

If a new value is not entered for a required field, the 3500i writes the 
block using the 0.0000 default. This may generate an error message 
when the program runs.

Optional entry fields are blank, indicating that a value is only necessary 
if needed by the specific task. 

Optional entry fields do not require a value. When left blank, a default 
value, or position is usually assumed.



Press the (+/-) key to insert a negative sign.



Touch the CLEAR key to clear an entry.

Remember: Using the Exit button saves all changes 
made.  Quit a program, and the changes are not saved.
