Directories

To ensure that you can easily find your NC programs and files, we
recommend that you organize your internal memory into directories
(folders). You can divide a directory into further directories, which are
called subdirectories. With the -/+ key or ENT you can show or hide
the subdirectories.

Paths

A path indicates the drive and all directories and subdirectories
under which a file is saved. The individual names are separated by a
backslash \.
The maximum permitted path length is 255 characters.
The path length consists of the drive characters, the
directory name and the file name, including the extension.
Example
The directory AUFTR1 was created on the TNC drive. Then, in the
AUFTR1 directory, the directory NCPROG was created and the
NC program PROG1.H was copied into it. The NC program now has
the following path:
TNC:\AUFTR1\NCPROG\PROG1.H
The chart at right illustrates an example of a directory display with
different paths.
