The control unit inside the control panel includes a reader which processes image data of the matrix type two-dimensional code captured by the image pickup device, and outputs the image data as read data, and start driving control to the machining section based on the work instruction information contained in the read data.

A virtual manual handle is displayed on a screen of a display device of a numerical controller to simultaneously specify an operation amount and set a magnification of an axial movement amount with respect to this operation amount based on an operator's operation on the displayed manual handle.

Provided is a screen creation device for assisting in creating a user interface screen of a numerical control device. The screen creation device includes a parts library that stores parts to be placed on the user interface screen and composite parts obtained by combining a plurality of parts. The screen creation device determines, with regard to a composite part to be placed on the user interface screen, whether or not the user interface screen includes a dependent composite part that is necessary for the composite part to function and, if the user interface screen does not include the dependent composite part, notifies a user of the absence of the dependent composite part.
