PI service: CREATO
Create tool
Function:
Creation of a tool with specification of a T number. The tool is entered as existing in the tool
directory area (TV). The first "cutting edge" D1 (with zero contents) is created for tool offsets
in the TO block. D1 (with zero contents) is also created for the OEM "cutting edge" data in
the TUE block - if one is present. If a TU block exists, it will contain the data set for the tool.

PI service: DELECE
Delete a cutting edge
Function:
If the T number of an existing tool is specified in parameter "T number" in the PI service, then
a cutting edge is deleted for this particular tool (in this case, parameter "D number" (number
of cutting edge to be created) has a value range of 00001–00009). If a positive T number is
specified as a parameter and the tool for the T number entered does not exist, then the PI
service fails. If a value of 00000 is entered for the T number (model of absolute D numbers),
then the D number value range might extend from 00001 to 31999. If the specified cutting
edge does not exist, then the PI service is aborted in both cases.
