Creating and activating an INCH-based preset table

If you choose to switch the units for your control to INCH,
the preset table unit of measure will not be adjusted
automatically.
If you want to change the unit of measure in the table as
well, you need to create a new preset table.
To create and activate an INCH-based preset table, proceed as
follows:
Select the Programming operating mode
Open the file manager
Open the TNC:\table folder
Rename the preset.pr file, e.g. to preset_mm.pr
Create a new file and name it preset_inch.pr
Select the INCH unit of measure
The control opens the new, empty preset table.
The control displays an error message related to a
missing prototype file.
Delete the error message
Append lines, e.g. 10 lines
The control adds the lines
Position the cursor in the ACTNO column of line 0
Enter 1
Confirm your input
Open the file manager
Rename the preset_inch.pr file to preset.pr
Select the Manual operation mode
Open Preset management
Review the preset table
The tool table is another table where the unit of measure
is not adjusted automatically.
