Apart from programs, you can also save tool data and zero point
settings.
You can use this function, for example, to save the tool and zero point
data for a specific sequential control program. If you want to execute
this program at a later point in time, you will then have quick access to
the relevant settings.
Even tool data that you have measured on an external tool setting
station can be copied easily into the tool management system using
this option. For further details, see:
