Functional
Description
Operator interface:
The "Batch processing for tools" function is selected via the "Filter
lists" horizontal softkey from the basic states of the magazine and tool
lists in the tool management.
There are three states relating to "Batch processing for tools", which
are represented by different screens:
1. Filter selection
2. Displays the hit list, enables tool selection and selection and start
of batch processing in 2 screens: Load batch list and standard
batch list.
3. Batch execution
Each TOA (data area for tool offsets) has a separate state. You can
exit the "Filter lists" in these states and display different tool
management screens or switch to other operating areas.
The next time you press the "Filter lists" horizontal softkey, the screen
for the noted state is displayed.
The 2nd state "Hit list" stores the hit list and the tool selection as a
snapshot.
The 3rd state "Batch execution" stores the data for the selected tools
and the batch type. You can exit the "Filter lists" during batch
processing. After returning to the "Filter lists", the new status of batch
processing is displayed. The status of the batch as a whole and the
states of the individual batch elements are visible.
Paramtm.ini
You can set the user rights for the softkeys involved in the paramtm.ini
file (section [ACCESSLEVEL], entries "SKB...").
The filter lists are parameterized in the paramtm.ini file in the
[BatchTools] section.
Country-specific sections are parameterized in the
"language\patm_xx.ini" file in the section [BatchTools], "xx"
stands for the 2 letters of the country code.
