Importing tool data
Using this function you can simply import tool data that you have
measured externally on a presetting device, for example. The file
to be imported must have the CSV format ( c omma s eparated
v
alue). The
CSV
file format describes the structure of a text file
for exchanging simply structured data. Accordingly, the import file
must have the following structure:
Row 1
: In the first line you define the column names in which
the data defined in the subsequent lines is to be placed. The
column names are separated from each other by commas.
Other lines
: All the other lines contain the data that you wish
to import into the tool table. The order of the data must match
the order of the column names in Line 1. The data is separated
by commas, decimal numbers are to be defined with a decimal
point.
Follow the steps outlined below for importing:
Copy the tool table to be imported to the hard disk of the TNC in
the
TNC:\systems\tooltab directory
Start expanded tool management
Select the
IMPORT TOOL soft key in the Tool Management: The
TNC shows a pop-up window with the CSV files stored in the
TNC:\systems\tooltab directory
Use the arrow keys or mouse to select the file to be imported
and confirm with the
ENT key: The TNC shows the content of
the CSV file in a pop-up window
Start import procedure with
START soft key
The CSV file to be imported must be stored in the
TNC:\system\tooltab directory.
If you import the tool data of tools whose
numbers are in the pocket table, the TNC issues
an error message. You can then decide whether
you want to skip this data record or insert a new
tool. The TNC inserts a new tool into the first
empty line of the tool table.
Make sure that the column designations are
specified correctly, see "Enter tool data into the
table", page 168.
You can import any tool data, the associated data
record does not have to contain all the columns
(or data) of the tool table.
The column names can be in any order, the data
must be defined in the corresponding order.
