    Incremental offset input

    Is there a way that anyone knows of, to have the INPUT key act as the [+INPUT] softkey in the setting screens?

    Many operators on our floor have mazatrol muscle memory that assumes the physical button will increment the value in the offset boxes. Which leads to scrapped parts and lost time

    Our newer 0i and 31i controls mitigates this partially by being able to 'undo' the last change if the operator manages to catch their mistake. But either way that softkey isn't present on our 16i and 18i controls, unfortunately.

    I've skimmed through the parameters with different search terms but with no luck.
    Also! I've seen some screenshots where the controls have asked "0.450 input ok?" what parameter is related to this and is it always "active" or only for values above a certain limit?

    Re: Incremental offset input

    I'd be happy just disabling the input key on the offset screens, forcing operators to use the softkeys thus minimizing the risk of errors due to muscle memory
