Entering tool data in the table
You can define and store up to 9999 tools and their tool data in a tool
table. Also see the Editing Functions later in this Chapter. In order to
be able to assign various compensation data to a tool (indexing tool
number), insert a line and extend the tool number by a dot and a
number from 1 to 9 (e.g. T 5.2).
You must use tool tables if
 you wish to use indexed tools such as stepped drills with more than
one length compensation value
 your machine tool has an automatic tool changer
 you want to work with Cycles 25x
Tool table: Standard tool data
If you create or manage further tool tables, the file name
has to start with a letter.
You can select either list view or form view for tables via
the "Screen layout" key.
