See also section 4.2 ”File Management: Fundamentals”!
Directories
To ensure that you can easily find your files, we recommend that
you organize your hard disk into directories. You can divide a
directory up into further directories, which are called subdirectories.
The TNC can manage up to 6 directory levels!
If you save more than 512 files in one directory, the TNC
no longer sorts them alphabetically!
Directory names
The name of a directory can contain up to 8 characters and does not
have an extension. If you enter more than 8 characters for the
directory name, the TNC will shorten the name to 8 characters.
Paths
A path indicates the drive and all directories and subdirectories
under which a file is saved. The individual names are separated by
the symbol “\”.
Example: On drive TNC:\, the directory AUFTR1 was created. Under
this directory, the subdirectory NCPROG was created, and the part
program PROG1.I copied into this subdirectory. The part program
now has the following path:
TNC:\AUFTR1\NCPROG\PROG1.I
The chart at right illustrates an example of a directory display with
different paths.
