Files
When you write a part program on the TNC, you must first enter a file
name. The TNC saves the program 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.
In the TNC 410 you can manage a max. 64 files with a total of up to
256 KB.
The TNC 426, TNC 430 can manage any number of files. However,
their total size must not exceed 1500 MB.
File names
When you store programs, tables and texts as files, the TNC adds an
extension to the file name, separated by a period. This extension
indicates the file type.
