3.3 File Management:
Fundamentals
Files
When you write a part program on the TNC, you must first enter a file
name. The TNC saves the program to the hard disk as a file with the
same name. The TNC can also save texts and tables as files.
The TNC provides a special file management window in which you can
easily find and manage your files. Here you can call, copy, rename and
erase files.
You can manage nearly any number of files with the TNC, at least
21 GB. The size of the hard disk depends on the main computer
installed in your machine. A single NC program can be up to 2 GB
large.
