Fanuc Series 18T

[jorgehrr]

I have brackets in my keyboard,[] but when I used them I get parenthesis,() good to add a description tool as we all know, I never care about it because I did not use macros in my programs before, now I do and I need them.
How do I get them????? []

Please help.

hit your shift key then the [ ]

[jorgehrr]

I do that to get the parenthesis, if not, I get a number.
key number 4 or [
key number 5 or ]

Keys show brackets but when I used them I get parenthesis.

Thank you, may be is 1 right now, that's why I get parenthesis.
For programming macros I need both.[] and ()

Any ideas?????

on my new OI-TC i only have [] but go to edit hit (OPRT) right key like twice and it shows (C-EXT) hit that and there is ()

[jackson]

you might try what i just the (C-EXT) i cant remember but it seems like some of the 18 had that option

[jorgehrr]

I'll take a walk right now to try this

Thank you.

our 0i has the (C-EXT) key, the 20T controller does not have that feature., i wanted ( ) for writing in "notes" for the operators.
