-| CNC Variable: Switch |  |
+| CNC Variable: Switch | This switches the global variable between set values. Example of syntax: 1000/33;22;11 where 1000 is the variable, and 33, 22, and 11 are the values the variable will switch between upon each input |
-| CNC Variable: Toggle |  |
+| CNC Variable: Toggle | This toggles the specified variable On and Off. Example of syntax: 1001 |
-| CNC Variable: Change | Writes the variable from the [[mycnc:global_variables|Global Variables list]], specified /VARIABLE (slash-and-variable-name) |
 | CNC Variable: Clear | Clears a global variable |
 | CNC Variable: Set | Command to set the variable |
-| CNC Variable: Assign |  |
+| CNC Variable: Assign | Writes the variable from the [[mycnc:global_variables|Global Variables list]]. Example of syntax: /1001 |
 | File: Open | Open a file from the host computer (brings up the dialog window) |
 | File: Open DXF/HPGL | Open a DXF/HPGL file from the folders specified in Preferences > Common |

 | Pendant: Wheel CW | Record the input as wheel moving clockwise |
 | Pendant: Wheel CCW | Record the input as wheel moving counter-clockwise |
-| Pendant: Mul increment |  |
+| Pendant: Mul increment | Designed for pendants which lack a dedicated step size switch. This will increase the step size. |
-| Pendant: Mul decrement |  |
+| Pendant: Mul decrement | Designed for pendants which lack a dedicated step size switch. This will decrease the step size. |
-| Pendant: Axis change + |  |
+| Pendant: Axis change + | Changes the axis to the next axis available |

+| Pendant: Axis change - | Changes the axis to the previous axis available |
-| Pendant0: x0.001-1 | Sets the increment for the machine movements which is controlled by the pendant |
+| Pendant0: x0.001-1 | Sets the increment for the machine movements which is controlled by the software pendant (older versions of the software have a pendant widget) |
 | Pendant0: Axis off |  |
-| Pendant0: Axis X-C | Sets the axis that the pendant will be sending commands to |
+| Pendant0: Axis X-C | Sets the axis that the software widget pendant will be sending commands to |
 | Pendant: Work coordinate Half | Takes the pendant work coordinate (in the axis specified on the pendant) and halves it |
 | Pendant: Work coordinate Reset | Resets the work coordinate specified in the pendant axis |
 | PLC: Run procedure | Run a PLC procedure |
 | PLC: Run external unit procedure | Run a PLC procedure on a slave controller. The syntax for the command will be as follows: controller number / command / variable (for example, 0x01/M74/#7009) |
-| Run Numpad |  |
+| Run Numpad | This brings up a numpad for a specific variable/item into which the user can then type in a value. The user can set this to bring up the numpad for any device variable/gvariables/screen items. Example of syntax: cnc-gvariable-5522 - this will bring a numpad typing into which will change the value for the Global Variable #5522 (step size) |
