The tool table that is active during execution of the part program is

test runs are given different file names with the extension .T .
To open the tool table TOOL.T:
Select any machine operating mode.
To select the tool table, press the TOOL TABLE soft
key.
Set the EDIT soft key to ON.
To open any other tool table

Calling the file manager
To select the file type, press the SELECT TYPE soft
key.
To show type .T files, press the SHOW soft key.
Select a file or enter a new file name. Conclude your
entry with the ENT key or SELECT soft key.
When you have opened the tool table, you can edit the tool data by
moving the cursor to the desired position in the table with the
arrow keys or the soft keys (see figure at upper right). You can
overwrite the stored values, or enter new values at any position.
Refer to the table (on the next page) for additional editing functions.
If the TNC cannot show all positions in the tool table in one screen
page, the highlight bar at the top of the table will display the
symbol >> or << .
To leave the tool table:
Call the file manager and select a file of a different type, e.g. a
part program.
