Function
You can load a tool in one of the following ways:
· You can enter the individual tool data directly in the list.
· You can import tool data from existing tools.
You can load a tool from the "Magazine list" or the "Tool list".
· Loading a tool from the "Magazine list"
To edit tool data directly in the list, you must first find a suitable
empty location for the tool (use the softkeys). You can then enter
the data directly in the list.
You can also load all existing tools into the magazine.
You load the associated tool data:
- from the master data catalog
- from the tool cabinet
- from the code carrier (if one exists) or
- from the host computer (if one is connected).
In this case, the system automatically tries to find a suitable empty
location for the selected tool.
· Loading a tool from the "Tool list"
You can load magazines whose data are already stored in the TO
memory.
The magazine location is selected either by searching for an empty
location or by entering a magazine number and location number in
the corresponding columns of the list.
