File name File type
To open a new file you must enter a file name
consisting of from one to 16 characters (letters
and numbers), depending on MP7222.
The file types are listed in the table at right.
File directory
The TNC can store up to 100 files at one time.
You can call up a directory of these programs by
pressing the PGM NAME key. To delete one or
more programs, press the CL PGM key.
The file directory contains the following
information:
• File name
• File type
• File size in bytes (=characters)
• File status
Further information is shown at the top of the
screen:
• Selected file storage
- TNC memory
- External storage via RS-232 interface
- External storage via RS-422
• Interface mode, e.g. FE1, EXT1 for external
storage
• File type, e.g. ❊ .H is shown if only
HEIDENHAIN dialog programs are shown
Example:
RS 422/EXT1: ❊ .T is displayed. This means that only
those files are shown that have the extension .T
and are located in an external storage device, (e.g. a
PC), that is connected to the TNC through the
RS-422 interface (see also Chapter 10).
A soft key calls the file directory of an external data
storage medium. The screen is then divided into
two columns.
Select the file directory:
Show the file directory in one or two columns. The selected layout is
shown in the soft key.
