[Explanation]
(1) The values set in the MEXTL1, MEXTL2, MEXTL3 .... MEXTL16 tool parameters are reflected in the tool
data. It is also written into the MEXTL parameter.
(2) Tool numbers 1 to 16 correspond to MEXTL1 to 16.
(3) While referencing, the currently set tool number is read.
(4) If the reading value is 0, it indicates that tool data other than MEXTL1 to 16 is set as the current tool data.
(5) The same setting can be performed on the Tool Setup screen of the teaching pendant. For more infor-
