3.3 File management:
Fundamentals
Files
When you write a part program on the TNC, you must first enter a
program name. The TNC saves the program to the internal memory of
the control as a file with the same name. The TNC can also save texts
and tables as files.
The TNC provides a special file management window in which you can
easily find and manage your files. Here you can call, copy, rename and
erase files.
You can create folder structures in the TNC so that you can manage
your files. The memory available in the control is 2 GB.

Depending on the setting, the TNC generates a backup file
(*.bak) after editing and saving of NC programs. This can
reduce the memory space available to you.
