Editing tool tables
The tool table that is active during execution of the part program is
designated TOOL.T and must be saved in the “table” directory. The
tool table TOOL.T can be edited only in a machine mode of operation.
for archiving or test runs, give the tool tables some other name with
the extension .T. By default, for the Test Run and Programming modes
the TNC uses the “simtool.t” tool table, which is also stored in the
“table” directory. In the Programming and Editing mode, press the
TABLE EDITOR soft key to edit it.
To open the tool table TOOL.T:
8 Select any machine operating mode.
8 To select the tool table, press the TOOL TABLE soft
key.
8 Set the EDIT soft key to ON.
To open any other tool table
8 Select the Programming and Editing mode of operation.
8 Call the file manager.
8 To select the file type, press the SELECT TYPE soft
key.
8 To show type .T files, press the SHOW .T soft key.

entry with the ENT key or the SELECT soft key.
When you have opened the tool table, you can edit the tool data by
moving the cursor to the desired position in the table with the arrow
keys or the soft keys. You can overwrite the stored values, or enter
new values at any position. The available editing functions are
illustrated in the table below.
If the TNC cannot show all positions in the tool table in one screen
page, the highlight bar at the top of the table will display the symbol
“>>” or “<<”.
