Editing functions

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. You can overwrite the stored values, or enter
new values at any position. The available editing functions are
illustrated in the table below.

If the TNC cannot show all positions in the tool table in one screen
page, the highlight bar at the top of the table will display the >> or <<
symbols.

Insert a line for the indexed tool number after the
active line. The function is only active if you are
permitted to store multiple compensation data
for a tool (MP7262 not equal to 0). The TNC
inserts a copy of the tool data after the last
available index and increases the index by 1.
Application: e.g. stepped drill with more than one
length compensation value
