Editing tool tables
The tool table that is active during execution of the part program is
designated TOOL.T and must be saved in the directory TNC:\table.
TOOL.T can only be edited in one of the machine operating modes.
Other tool tables that are to be archived or used for test runs are given
any other names with the extension T. By default, for Test Run and
Programming modes the TNC uses the "simtool.t" table, which is also
stored in the "table" directory. In the Test Run mode, press the TOOL
TABLE soft key to edit it.
To open the tool table TOOL.T:
U Select any machine operating mode
U Press the TOOL TABLE soft key to select the tool
table
U Set the EDIT soft key to ON
Display only specific tool types (filter setting)
U Press the TABLE FILTER soft key (fourth soft-key row).
U Select the tool type by pressing a soft key: The TNC only shows
tools of the type selected
U Cancel filter: Press the tool type selected before again or select
another tool type
The machine tool builder adapts the functional range of
the filter function to the requirements of your machine.
The machine tool manual provides further information.
