The columns labeled PKT give the pocket numbers of the tool changer.
The columns labeled TOOL give the tool number of the tool in the
corresponding pocket. Pockets with no tools assigned to them show no
information next to the pocket number. Pockets with tools shown as
XXXX indicate that a custom tool (tool that requires more then one
pocket) has been assigned to use that pocket.
3. Move the cursor to the pocket number for which an assignment or
change is to be made. This is done by pressing the up, down, right, or
left cursor keys on the operator panel. Move the cursor full pages by
holding down the [SHIFT] key while pressing the up or down cursor
keys. The selected pocket is shown in reverse video.
Important: If random tool is not to be used for a specific system, make
sure that none of the tool pockets have tool numbers assigned to them.
