9.2 Tool table
This table defines the tools available and the data associated with each one of them.
The tool list is common to the whole system, i.e. is common to all the available
magazines. Once the tools have been defined, they may be distributed in the various
magazines.
The left panel shows the list of available tools. For each tool, it indicates the position
and the magazine where it is located, whether it is a ground tool or the tool is active
in a channel.
The right panel shows the data of the tool selected on the list. From the vertical softkey
menu, it is possible to select the data shown on the right panel. See
"9.2.3 Description of the tool data" on page 181.
About the tools
Each tool is identified by its number, that is unique for the whole system; it cannot
be repeated in different magazines nor in ground tools. This table indicates the
position and the magazine where each tool is located, whether it is a ground tool or
the tool is active in a channel.
Ground tools
A ground tool is a tool that is not stored in any magazine and is loaded manually when
requested. Ground tools are also defined in the tool table, but they are not associated
with any magazine position.
Ground tool loading and unloading is global to the system; it is not associated with
any particular magazine or channel.
The table is divided in two panels. To switch panels, press the panel-change key.
