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
by commas, decimal numbers are to be defined 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:\systems\tooltab directory
Start expanded tool management
Select the TOOL IMPORT 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
