1660 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual iTNC 530 HSCI
The tool usage file is generated by the NC software if this is initiated via
HEIDENHAIN DNC (software option). HEIDENHAIN DNC supports this as of
version 1.4, which will be available as of mid-2012. The generation can only
be initiated if host computer operation is already enabled. The parameter
being transferred is the name of the table containing the NC programs and,
optionally, also the name of the CSV file. One specific list per NC program
is generated every time. Tables and CSV files that are no longer needed after
generation may have to be deleted from the host computer.
Together with the tool usage file, an .H.T.DEP file is generated and stored
in the directory of the NC program. This file can be deleted automatically
together with the NC program if, in the settings MOD key -> soft key:
'RS232/RS422 Setup', the 'dependent files' entry is set to 'automatic'.
