Editing tool tables
The tool table that is active during execution of the part program is
designated TOOL.T. TOOL T must be saved in the directory
TNC:\table
.
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.
