Dependent files

In addition to the file extension, dependent files also have the
extension .SEC.DEP (SECtion, DEPendent). The following different
types are available:

„

.H.SEC.DEP
The TNC creates files with the .SEC.DEP extension if you work with
the structure function. The file contains information needed by the
TNC to rapidly jump from one structure point to the next.

„

.T.DEP:

Tool usage file for individual conversational-format

programs (see “Tool usage test” on page 683)

„

.P.T.DEP:

Tool usage file for a complete pallet

The TNC creates files with the .P.T.DEP ending if, in a Program Run
mode, you run the tool usage test (see “Tool usage test” on page
683)
for a pallet entry of the active pallet file. This file then lists the
sum of all tool usage times of all tools that you use within a pallet.

„

.H.AFC.DEP:

File in which the TNC saves the control parameters for

the adaptive feed control (AFC) (see “Adaptive Feed Control
Software Option (AFC)” on page 695).

„

.H.AFC2.DEP:

File in which the TNC saves the static data of the

adaptive feed control (AFC) (see “Adaptive Feed Control Software
Option (AFC)” on page 695).
