Creating a new program/file management
 Press the PGM MGT key: The TNC opens the file
manager. The file management of the TNC is
arranged much like the file management on a PC with
the Windows Explorer. The file management enables
you to manipulate data on the TNC hard disk
 Use the arrow keys to select the folder in which you
want to open the new file
 Enter a file name with the extension .H: The TNC then
automatically opens a program and asks for the unit
of measure for the new program. Please note the
restrictions regarding special characters in the file
name (see "File names" on page 118)
 To select the unit of measure, press the MM or INCH
soft key: The TNC automatically starts the workpiece
blank definition (see "Defining a workpiece blank" on
page 58)
The TNC automatically generates the first and last blocks of the
program. Afterwards you can no longer change these blocks.
