11.14 Freely Definable Tables
Fundamentals
In freely definable tables you can read and save any information from
the NC program. The Q parameter functions FN 26 to FN 28 are
provided for this purpose.
You can change the format of freely definable tables, i.e. the columns
and their properties, by using the structure editor. They enable you to
make tables that are exactly tailored to your application.
You can also switch between table view (default setting) and form
view.
Creating a freely definable table
U To call the file manager, press the PGM MGT key
U Enter any file name with the TAB extension and confirm with the
ENT key. The TNC displays a pop-up window with permanently
saved table formats
U Use the arrow key to select the table format EXAMPLE.TAB and
confirm with the ENT key. The TNC opens a new table containing
only one line and one column
U To adapt the table to your requirements you have to edit the table
format (see “Editing the table format” on page 462)
If the TNC does not show a pop-up window when you
open a new .tab file, you must first use the COPY
SAMPLE FILES function to generate the table formats. For
more information, contact your machine tool builder or
HEIDENHAIN.
