\emph default 
 the message wouldn't be displayed.
 It will still show in the auto modes' display of the program file.
 
\layout Standard

To erase messages simply click the message button at the top of the pad
 or on the keyboard hold down the [Alt] key and press the [m] key.

Right Column
\layout Standard

The right column is a general purpose place to display and work.
 Here you can see the modal buttons and text entry or displays.
 Here you can view a plot of the tool path that will be commanded by your
 program.
 You can also write programs and control tools and offsets here.
 The modal screens have been described above.
 Each of the popin displays are described in detail below.

The editor is rather limited compared to many modern text editors.
 It does not have 
\emph on 
undo
\emph default 
 nor 
\emph on 
paste
\emph default 
 between windows with the clipboard.These were eliminated because of interaction
 with a running program.
 Future releases will replace these functions so that it will work the way
 you've come to expect from a text editor.
 It is included because it has the rather nice feature of being able to
 number and renumber lines in the way that the interpreter expects of a
 file.
 It will also allow you to cut and paste from one part of a file to another.
 In addition, it will allow you to save your changes and submit them to
 the EMC interpreter with the same menu click.
 You can work on a file in here for a while and then save and load if the
 EMC is in Auto mode.
 If you have been running a file and find that you need to edit it, that
 file will be placed in the editor when you click on the editor button on
 the top menu.

\end_inset 

Backplot [Backplot] will show the tool path that can be viewed from a chosen
 direction.
 '3-D' is the default.
 Other choices and controls are displayed along the top and right side of
 the pop-in.
 If you are in the middle of a cut when you press one of these control buttons
 the machine will pause long enough to re-compute the view.
\layout Standard

Along the right side of the pop-in there is a small pyramid shaped graphic
 that tries to show the angle you are viewing the tool path from.
 Below it are a series of sliders that allow you to change the angle of
 view and the size of the plot.
 You can rotate the little position angle display with these.
 They take effect when you press the [Refresh] button.
 The [Reset] button removes all of the paths from the display and readies
 it for a new run of the program but retains your settings for that session.
 
\layout Standard

If backplot is started before a program is started, it will try to use some
 color lines to indicate the kind of motion that was used to make it.
 A green line is a rapid move.
 A black line is a feed rate move.
 Blue and red indicate arcs in counterclockwise and clockwise directions.
\layout Standard

The backplotter with Mini allows you to zoom and rotate views after you
 have run your program but it is not intended to store a tool path for a
 long period of time.
 
\layout Subsection

Tool Page
\layout Standard

The tool page is pretty much like the others.
 You can set length and diameter values here and they become effective when
 you press the [Enter] key.
 You will need to set up your tool information before you begin to run a
 program.
 You can't change tool offsets while the program is running or when the
 program is paused.

\layout Standard

The [Add Tools] and [Remove Tools] buttons work on the bottom of the tool
 list so you will want to fill in tool information in decending order.
 Once a new tool has been added, you can use it in a program with the usual
 G-code commands.
 There is a 32 tool limit in the current EMC configuration files but you
 will run out of display space in Mini long before you get there.
 (Hint You can use menu -> view -> show popin full to see more tools if
 you need.) 
\layout Subsection

Offset Page
\layout Standard

The offset page can be used to display and setup work offsets.
 The coordinate system is selected along the left hand side of the window.
 Once you have selected a coordinate system you can enter values or move
 an axis to a teach position.

You can also teach using an edgefinder by adding the radius and length to
 the offset_by widgets.
 When you do this you may need to add or subtract the radius depending upon
 which surface you choose to touch from.
 This is selected with the add or subtract radiobuttons below the offset
 windows.
\layout Standard

The zero all for the active coordinate system button will remove any offsets
 that you have showing but they are not set to zero in the variable file
 until you press the write and load file button as well.
 This write and load file button is the one to use when you have set all
 of the axis values that you want for a coordinate system.
\layout Section

Keyboard Bindings
\layout Standard

A number of the bindings used with tkemc have been preserved with mini.
 A few of the bindings have been changed to extend that set or to ease the
 operation of a machine using this interface.
 Some keys operate the same regradless of the mode.
 Others change with the mode that EMC is operating in.

Misc
\layout Standard

One of the features of Mini is that it displays any axis above number 2
 as a rotary and will display degree units for it.
 It also converts to degree units for incremental jogs when a rotary axis
 has the focus.
