Abstract

A software magnifier operate method of a machine tool includes selecting a magnifier image button on an operate interface to execute a software magnifier program. A first position of the operate interface is selected for magnifying the first position into a first magnify area. A second position of the operate interface is selected for magnifies the second position into a second magnify area, and the first magnify area is closed simultaneously.

Claims

1. A software magnifier operate method of a machine tool, the method comprising:

selecting a magnifier image button on an operate interface to execute a software magnifier program;

selecting a first position of the operate interface for magnifying the first position into a first magnify area; and

selecting a second position of the operate interface for magnifying the second position into a second magnify area and closing the first magnify area simultaneously.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

selecting the magnifier image button to close the software magnifier program.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first position and the second position are different positions of the operate interface.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first position and the second position each display a plurality of different parameter values which change in real time.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

selecting a third position of the operate interface and closing the second magnify area simultaneously; and

magnifying the third position into a third magnify area.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the third position is any position of the operate interface.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the third position displays a plurality of different parameter values which change in real time.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5, further comprising the following steps:

selecting a time image button on the operate interface to open and display a set time interface, selecting a continued display select unit of the set time interface or a set display select unit of the set time interface;

executing continuously a magnify display function of the magnify position before the next position is selected, if the continued display select unit is selected; and

executing the magnify display function of the magnify position during a time value, if the set display select unit is selected.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

selecting a time image button on the operate interface to open and display a set time interface, selecting and displaying a continued display select unit or a set display select unit;

executing continuously a magnify display function of the magnify position before the next position is selected, if the continued display select unit is selected; and

executing the magnify display function of the magnify position during a time value, if the set display select unit is selected.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising the following step:

selecting the time image button to close the set time interface.

11. A machine tool, comprising:

an input unit for receiving an input instruction; and

a control unit for executing or closing a window magnify function according to the input instruction;

wherein by executing the window magnify function, the control unit magnifies a first position of an operate interface of a display unit into a first magnify area, if the first position is selected;

the control unit magnifies a second position of the operate interface into a second magnify area and closes the first magnify area, if the second position is selected.

12. The machine tool as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first position and the second position each display a plurality of different parameter values which change in real time.

13. The machine tool as claimed in claim 11, wherein the display unit is a touch control display.

14. The machine tool as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first position and the second position are at different positions of the operate interface.

15. The machine tool as claimed in claim 11, wherein the control unit magnifies a third position into a third magnify area and closing the second magnify area, if the third position is selected.

16. The machine tool as claimed in claim 15, wherein the third position is at any position of the operate interface.

17. The machine tool as claimed in claim 15, wherein the third position displays a plurality of different parameter values which change in real time.

18. The machine tool as claimed in claim 11, wherein the control unit executes or closes a magnify display function according with the input instruction.

19. The machine tool as claimed in claim 18, wherein the display unit displays a set time interface to display a continued display select unit and a set display select unit, if the control unit executes the magnify display function.
