Tool management
6.7 Start-up of code carrier
; $MN_CONVERT_SCALING_SYSTEM=1 is set in the NC.
; If it is an old NC without an inch/metric
; conversion function, or if
; $MN_CONVERT_SCALING_SYSTEM=0, then the NC operates without
; inch/metric conversion. For this reason,
; no conversions are carried out in relation to the code carrier
either.
; -1 = inch/metric is ignored (default).
; Data transfer between the code carrier and the NCK/MMC takes place
; without consideration of the inch/metric setting. Behavior as up
to now.
; 0=mm.
; It is assumed that the relevant data has been or is to be
; stored on the code carrier in mm.
. If "inch" is set in the NCK
; all softkeys are disabled and code carrier
; functions start.
;1=inch.
; It is assumed that the relevant data has been or is to be
; stored on the code carrier in inches.
. If "mm" is set in the NCK
; all softkeys are disabled and code carrier
; functions start.
CODECARRIER_LENGTH_UNIT=-1
Setting for tool status
If the paramtm.ini or paramtm.txt of the software version that has been installed contains one
of the following entries, then the function can be used by making an entry in
...\user\paramtm.ini as described below. Otherwise the default setting applies.
; Tool status: If a tool is removed from the NCK and transferred
; to an "external" medium (tool cabinet,
; code carrier, SINCOM), then you can use the following screens
; to specify which tool status bits should be
; saved.
; Code carrier: Since the standard wkonvert.txt file has entered 1
byte
; for the tool status and a max. of 92 have been written to the code
carrier
; up to now, CODECARRIER_TOOLSTATE_MASK receives the
; default value 92.
; If the value for CODECARRIER_TOOLSTATE_MASK is expanded,
; then the size of the dialog variables T9 in wkonvert.txt
; has to be adapted accordingly.
; 1=Active Tool
; 2=Allowed
; 4=Disabled
; 8=Measured
