Overwriting tool data from an external PC

Application
The HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremo provides an
especially convenient way to use an external PC to overwrite tool
data.
Further information: "Software for data transfer", page 755
This application case occurs if you wish to determine tool data on
an external tool presetter and then transfer this to the control.
Requirements
In addition to option 18 HEIDENHAIN DNC, TNCremo (from version
3.1) is required with TNCremoPlus functions.
Procedure
Copy the TOOL.T tool table to the control, for example to TST.T
Start the data transfer software TNCremo on the PC
Connect to the control
Transfer the copied tool table TST.T to the PC
Use any text editor to reduce TST.T to the lines and columns
to be changed (see figure). Make sure that the header is not
changed and the data is always flush in the column. The tool
number (column T) need not be consecutive
In TNCremo, select the menu item <Extras> and <TNCcmd>:
This starts TNCcmd.
To transfer the TST.T file to the control, enter the following
command and confirm with the return key (see figure):
put tst.t tool.t /m
During transfer, only the tool data defined in the subfile
(e.g. TST.T) is overwritten. All other tool data of the table
TOOL.T remains unchanged.
The procedure for copying tool tables using the file
manager is described in the file management.
