Comparing a tool list with an NC program
The CNC PILOT compares the current tool list with the entries in the
NC program last translated in automatic mode. The entries in the
TURRET section are considered to be nominal tools.
The CNC PILOT shows the following tools marked:
Actual tool not equal to nominal tool
Actual tool not occupied, nominal tool occupied
Tool locations that are not assigned in the NC program cannot be
selected.

program, are not needed, are not marked.
The CNC PILOT accounts for a tool entered, even if it
does not correspond to the nominal assignment.
