Backing up tool management tables
This feature causes the control to automatically generate a G10L3 program
that will store all of the information that it finds in the current tool
management table. Any time that this G10 program is executed it will
clear any information that is currently in the management tables and
replace it with the information that is in the G10 program.
To generate the G10L3 backup program of the tool management tables
