8.12 Tables
Different types of tables are managed in the control, such as motor tables,
datum tables and tool tables.
Every table has its own structure. This means that the number of columns, the
column designations, the dialogs for column entries, etc. vary depending on
the table.
Each table type has certain characteristics. A table type is identified by its file
extension, e.g. ".T" for tool tables. Tables with the same extension have the
same characteristics.
Table characteristics are set in the configuration editor. The different table
characteristics are defined in the configuration object CfgTableProperties,
and the column characteristics in the configuration object
CfgColumnDescription.
Tables of different types, meaning tables with different extensions, are not
compatible with each other. This means that you cannot copy tables from
one extension to another, or simply change extensions.
