C.A.P softkey on Fanuc Oi-MC

[cossiegaz]

Anybody know what the C.A.P softkey (whilst in edit mode) is for on a Fanuc Oi-MC controller?

It calls "Manual Guide 0i" - see its description at the end of operator's manual

cap is a program that is used to assist program creation.. do you have a users manual?

Yes we have a manual but unfortuanetely dont know where it is.
When i press the C.A.P button it seems to just copy whatever program is currently in use and create a duplicate copy of it.

C.A.P. = Conversational Adaptive Programming
Seams you don't have the Software installed, it is a easy and fast macro programming Application.

If the CAP button is shown, then the software should be installed. In my oper. manual its description start at p. 673. Check also PRM9330, should have some number for default program number, for example 5000.

So if it turns out that the machine does have the software installed then what sort of benefits would this give me when programming?
Im not expecting a in-depth guide of how to use the feature but would be nice to have a basic idea of what it does and how it could aid me with programming.
Think i might try and get hold of a manual from fanuc aswell.

Is that part of the leaflet enough?

Made a small breakthrough today, the machine does have this software installed, for some reason when i press the C.A.P button when there is a program in the machine memory it creates a duplicate copy of that program, however after deleting the program from the machines memory today and then pressing the C.A.P button the exact same page as posted above was presented to me.
So am i right in thinking that with this feature i can do my own online programming to a certain extent? and if so would this be similar to Mazatrol style programming?
