4.2 File management
Files and file management
When you write a part program on the TNC, you must first enter a
file name. The TNC then stores the program as a file with the same
name. You can also store tables as files.
File names
The name of a file can have up to 8 characters. When you store
programs and tables as files, the TNC adds an extension to the file
name, separated by a point. This extension identifies the file type
(see table at right).
