Copying files out of the TNC
If you want to copy files out of the TNC, tag the files in the left half of the

If you only want to copy a single file into or out of the TNC, use the COPY
soft key after you have moved the highlight onto the file.
• If the TNC recognizes erroneously transferred program blocks, it will mark them with ERROR =.
Correct these blocks in the PROGRAMMING AND EDITING mode.
• If you want to transfer files between two TNCs, start transmission from the receiving TNC.
• You can start a program in a program run mode of operation even if its transfer in the PROGRAMMING AND
EDITING mode has not been completed yet. The program must not contain TOOL DEF blocks or label numbers.
• If you are transferring tables into the TNC you can overwrite individual lines or columns in the target table with
the REPLACE FIELDS soft key. Prerequisites:
– The target table must exist.
– The file to be transferred must only contain the columns (or lines) you want to replace.
