TOOL FILE AND COMPENSATION

9.1 Tool File

The EMC uses a tool file that is read in when a machine control is started. In a

standard release this file is named emc.var, generic.var, or sim.var and is used

by the similarly named run file. The specific name of the file that will be used is

set by the ini file that is read at startup.

A tool file is required. It tells which tools are in which carousel slots and what

the length and diameter of each tool are. The Interpreter does not deal directly

th tool files. A tool file is read by the EMC system and the Interpreter gets the

tool information by making calls to canonical functions that obtain it.

The header l

ine shown in T

able [tbl:Tool_file1] is essential f

or some of the

graphical interfaces, so it is suggested (but not required) that such a line always

be included as the first line in the file.

Table 9-1:

Typical Tool File

Each data line of the file contains the data for one tool. Each line has five

entries. The first four entries are required. The last entry (a comment) is option-

al. It makes reading easier if the entries are arranged in columns, as shown in

the table, but the only f

ormat r

equir

ement is that there be at least one space or

tab after each of the first three entries on a line and a space, tab, or newline at

the end of the f

ourth entry

. The meanings of the columns and the t

ype of data

to be put in each are as follows.
