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).

not automatically shift the values already entered.
