Entering a contour formula
You can use soft keys to interlink various contours in a mathematical
formula.
 Select a Q parameter function: Press the Q key (in the numerical
keypad at right). The Q parameter functions are displayed in a soft-
key row.
 To select the function for entering the contour formula, press the
CONTOUR FORMULA soft key. The TNC then shows the following
soft keys:
Mathematical function Soft key
Intersected with
e.g. QC10 = QC1 & QC5
Joined with
e.g. QC25 = QC7 | QC18
Joined without intersection
e.g. QC12 = QC5 ^ QC25
Joined with complement of
e.g. QC25 = QC1 \ QC2
Complement of contour area
e.g. Q12 = #Q11
Opening parenthesis
e.g. QC12 = QC1 * (QC2 + QC3)
Closing parenthesis
e.g. QC12 = QC1 * (QC2 + QC3)
Defining a single contour
e.g. QC12 = QC1
