Using an external PC to overwrite individual tool
data
The HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremoNT provides an
especially convenient way to use an external PC to overwrite tool data
(see “Software for data transfer” on page 480). This applies when you
measure tool data on an external tool presetter and then want to
transfer the data to the TNC. Follow this procedure:
U

Copy the tool table TOOL.T to the TNC, for example to TST.T

Start the data transfer software TNCremoNT on the PC

Use any text editor to reduce TST.T to the lines and columns to be
changed (see figure at upper right). Make sure that the header is not
changed and the data is always flush in the column. The tool
numbers (column T) need not be consecutive

In TNCremoNT, select the menu item

To transfer TST.T to the TNC, enter the following command and
confirm with the return key (see figure at lower right):
put tst.t tool.t /m
During transfer, only the tool data defined in the subfile
(e.g. TST.T) is overwritten. All other tool data of the table
TOOL.T remains unchanged.
