Files
When you write a part program on the TNC, you must first enter a
program name. The TNC saves the program to the hard disk 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.
You can manage an almost unlimited number of files with the TNC, at
least 21 GB. The actual size of the hard disk depends on the main
computer installed in your machine. Please refer to the specifications.
A single NC program can be up to 2 GB in size.
