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 122)

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 60)

The TNC automatically generates the first and last blocks of the

program. Afterwards you can no longer change these blocks.
