Select the offsets to be backed up by moving the cursor to the desired

offset by using the up and down cursor keys. The selected offset

appears in reverse video. The four options include:

TOOL WEAR ---- When wear is selected all data from the tool offset
wear tables is stored as a G10 program.

TOOL GEOMETRY ---- When geometry is selected all data from the
tool offset geometry tables is stored as a G10 program.

WORK COORDINATE ---- When work coordinate systems are selected
the work coordinate offset information for the G-codes G54 - G59.3 and

the external offset value are stored as a G10 program.

ALL ---- When all is selected all data from the tool offset geometry and
wear tables and work coordinate offset tables is stored as a G10

program.

Once the data to save has been selected, press the

{TO FILE}

softkey

to send the G10 program to control memory. The control asks for a

program name under which to store the program. Enter the program

name by using the alphanumeric keys on the operator panel and press

the

[ENTER]

key. Refer to chapter 10 on program names. The G10

program is saved under the file name just entered.
