Tool management

Internal/external tool management

When the CNC kernel is used as simulation DLL, both internal and external tool management can be used (toggle by using P-CHAN-00016).

Tool data

With internal tool management, tool data is saved to the tool data list channel-specific.

When external tool management is used, tool data is always managed globally for the entire CNC: In this case, tool data must be entered in the tool data list of the 1st channel.

The access path to the tool data list must be specified in the start-up list.

The tool data list format is described in [TOOL].
