Directories
To ensure that you can easily find your files, we recommend that you
organize your hard disk into directories. You can divide a directory into
further directories, which are called subdirectories. With the –/+ key or
ENT you can show or hide the subdirectories.
Directory names
The maximum limit for the path, including the directory name, is 82
characters (see "Paths" on page 124).
Paths
A path indicates the drive and all directories and subdirectories under
which a file is saved. The individual names are separated by a
backslash "\".
Example
The directory AUFTR1 was created on the TNC:\ drive. Then, in the
AUFTR1
directory, the subdirectory NCPROG was created and the part
program PROG1.H was copied into it. The part program now has the
following path:
TNC:\AUFTR1\NCPROG\PROG1.H
The chart at right illustrates an example of a directory display with
different paths.
The TNC can manage up to 6 directory levels.
If you save more than 512 files in one directory, the TNC
no longer sorts them alphabetically.
The path, including all drive characters, directory and the
file name, including the extension, must not exceed 82
characters.
Drive designations must not include more than 8
uppercase letters.
