reely definable tables

Editing the table format

Press the EDIT FORMAT soft key (2nd soft-key level). The TNC
opens the editing window, in which the table structure is shown
rotated by 90°. In other words, a line in the editing window defines
a column in the associated table. The meanings of the structure
commands (header entries) are shown in the following table.

Exiting the structure editor

Press the END key. The TNC changes data that was already in the
table into the new format. Elements that the TNC could not convert
into the new structure are indicated with a hash mark # (e.g., if you
have narrowed the column width).
