Tool call
T is the identification letter for the tool holder. ID designates the tool
ID number. The tool is called by "T" (turret pocket number). The ID
number ID is shown and automatically filled in the dialogs. A turret list
is kept.
In Manual mode, you enter the T number in the TSF dialog box. In
Teach-in mode, "T" and "ID" are cycle parameters.
Driven tools
 Driven tools are defined in the tool description.
 The driven tool can be operated with feed per revolution if the tool
spindle drive is equipped with a rotary encoder.
 If driven tools are used with constant cutting speed, the spindle
speed is calculated from the tool diameter.
If a T number is entered in the TSF dialog box with an ID
number that is not defined in the turret list, then the turret
list will be changed accordingly.
