Hello

Thank you for entering in my post

I am new on this forum I am a CNC machinist and I've just lost my job

I need a iTNC530 Software for my P C
I've already called Heidenhainand they asked me about Two-thousand&sevenhundred pounds which is alot of money


Someone suggested to ask for a trial or training version of the software available at a reduced price... this is not a bad idea

Someone else suggested the Auction websites, but I've never used them a part of Ebay Auction... Do you know enything about Auction websites?


Do you know where could I get a cheaper copy of this program?

I've just lost my job and I don't have so much money to spend for a software

I really need it so please any information according this matter will be very appreciative



But obviously if i don't have any other chance I will have to buy it at full price



Thank you in advance for your help

Hello arenamember

good choice for your name :thumbs: -> Welcome @ CNC-Arena!


I would also advise you first to use the programming station demo version, - hundrets to thousend of cnc-arena members do so.
There is no other software with this functional extent and in addition it's still chronologically unrestrictedly.... no other control manufacturer offers this
However, there is a small trick to handle the 100 - lines of the limitation -> programm with subroutine technology... CALL PGM and splits your programs

Maybe cheaper only you get the pc version from HEIDENHAIN with a stand-alone dongle for pc, there is no hardware control keyboard, - but this is not a real barrier -> use the virtual keyboard - its digital but the same...

Thank you so much CNCFanatiker

Yes I'm trying to use the demo version but while I'm writing a program it blocks, even though my PC is quite powerful

In addition it looks you have to select a virtual keyboard any time you click a button, how can I have a fixed virtual keyboard with a control panel?

Yes the demo version looks very very interesting I only hope I can make it work properly on my laptop

I hope to hear from you soon

Thank you again in advance for your help

activating the virtual keyboard:
- open the iTNC Control Panel (green icon in your taskbar)
- click the button "keyboard" (unique activation)
- choose the option "Launch keypad at startup" to activate it whenever you start programming station software

Thank you I did reply to your answer

thank you very much indeed again for your time

No problem

when you get back with any questions about HEIDENHAIN - I delighted to help

[arenamember]

What's the problem? At which position it blocks? Perhaps you've any Screenshots or error messages?
