Editing tool tables
The tool table that is active during execution of the part program is
designated TOOL.T. TOOL.T must be stored in the directory TNC:\

file names with the extension .T .

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 (see figures at upper and center right).
You can overwrite the stored values, or enter new values at any
position. Refer to the table (on the next page) for additional editing
