Using An External Pc To Overwrite Individual Tool Data - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 User Manual

Using an external PC to overwrite individual tool
data
The HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremoNT provides an
especially convenient way to use an external PC to overwrite tool data
(see "Software for data transfer" on page 567). This applies when you
measure tool data on an external tool presetter and then want to
transfer the data to the TNC. Follow this procedure:
U Copy the tool table TOOL.T to the TNC, for example to TST.T
U Start the data transfer software TNCremoNT on the PC
U Establish a connection with the TNC
U
Transfer the copied tool table TST.T to the PC
U 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
U In TNCremoNT, select the menu item <Extras> and <TNCcmd>:
This starts TNCcmd
U To transfer TST.T to the TNC, 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 TNC file
manager is described in the section on file management
(see "Copying a table" on page 121).
