Import and export tool data

Importing tool data
Using this function you can simply import tool data that you have
measured externally on a presetting device, for example. The file
to be imported must have the CSV format (comma separated
value). The CSV file format describes the structure of a text file
for exchanging simply structured data. Accordingly, the import file
must have the following structure:
Row 1: In the first line you define the column names in which
the data defined in the subsequent lines is to be placed. The
column names are separated with a comma.
Other lines: All the other lines contain the data that you wish to
import into the tool table. The order of the data must match the
order of the column names in Line 1. The data is separated with
a comma, decimal numbers are to be denoted with a decimal
point.
Follow the steps outlined below for importing:
Copy the tool table to be imported to the hard disk of the TNC in
the TNC:\system\tooltab directory
Start expanded tool management
Select the IMPORT TOOL soft key in the tool management: The
TNC shows a pop-up window with the CSV files stored in the
TNC:\system\tooltab directory
Use the arrow keys or mouse to select the file to be imported
and confirm with the ENT key: The TNC shows the content of
the CSV file in a pop-up window
Start import procedure with START soft key
The CSV file to be imported must be stored in the
TNC:\system\tooltab directory.
If you import the tool data of tools whose
numbers are in the pocket table, the TNC issues
an error message. You can then decide whether
you want to skip this data record or insert a new
tool. The TNC inserts a new tool into the first
empty line of the tool table.
If the imported CSV file contains additional
table columns not recognized by the control, a
message to the effect that there are unknown
columns appears during the import, with a note
stating these values were not confirmed.
Make sure that the column designations have
been specified correctly.
Further Information:

You can import any tool data; the associated data
record does not have to contain all the columns
(or data) of the tool table.
The column names can be in any order, the data
must be defined in the corresponding order.
