There are 2 ways in which you can modify the existing tool management operator
interface:
9.5.1 To modify the standard lists
S You can configure the parameters variably as a function of tool in the lists
provided.
S You can configure your own lists in addition to the standard lists.
You can make the following changes in the standard lists:
S Change a particular column for all tools.
S Change a particular column for a particular tool.
S Define different columns for each tool.
You must store every change to the list default settings in configuration file
to_mill.ini.
An example of this is given on the application diskette for the PCU 20. You can
adapt this example and then install it with the ShopMill software.
For the PCU 50, you will find an example in directory ADD_ON after you have
installed ShopMill. You can also adapt this and then store it in directory OEM.
The configuration file will be evaluated only if you set bit 6 in MD 9478
$MM_TO_OPTION_MASK.
Note
You need only define settings which deviate from the default in the
configuration file.
In this regard, please note the following:
S You can define up to 13 columns after the ”DP number” column.
S Define the edge parameters, i.e. length, radius and angle in successive
columns.
S Define either edge parameters or tool parameters, but not both, in one
column. (Tool parameters are all parameters which are not edge parameters.)
