The columns labeled PKT give the tool changer pocket numbers. 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 than one
pocket) has been assigned to use that pocket.
3. Move the cursor to the pocket number with the assignment or change
is to be made. Press 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 appears in reverse video.
Important: If random tool is not to be used for your system, make sure
that none of the tool pockets have tool numbers assigned to them.
4. To modify tool data there are three choices:
To remove a tool assigned to a pocket, press the {CLEAR VALUE}
softkey. The selected tool is deleted from the table.
To enter a tool number for the pocket, press the {REPLCE VALUE}
softkey, key in the new tool number, and press the [TRANSMIT] key.
The old tool value is replaced with the new value just keyed in.
