Logical connective operations between requirements and filters
The control connects the filters as follows:
- AND operation for several requirements within one filter
You create, for example, a user-defined filter that contains the requirements R = 8 and L > 150. The control filters the table rows when you activate this filter. The control displays only the table rows that meet both requirements at the same time.
- OR operation between filters of the same type
When you activate the default filters Milling cutters and Lathe tools, for example, the control filters the table rows. The control displays only the table rows that meet at least one of the requirements. The table row must contain either a milling cutter or a turning tool.
- AND operation between filters of different types
You create, for example, a user-defined filter that contains the requirement R > 8. When you activate this filter and the default filter Milling cutters, the control filters the table rows. The control displays only the table rows that meet both requirements at the same time.
The Search column in the Table workspace
You can search the following table types:
- Tool management
- Pocket table
- Presets
- Tool table
You can define multiple search conditions in the search function.
Each condition includes the following information:
- Table column, such as T or NAME
Use the Search in selection menu to select the column.
- Operator if applicable (e.g., Contains or Equal to (=))
Use the Operator selection menu to select the operator.
- Search term in the Search for input field
- Tip
If you search the columns using predefined selection values, the control offers a selection menu instead of the input field.
The control provides the following buttons:
Button | Meaning |
---|---|
+ | Use Add to add several conditions. The conditions will have a combined effect when you perform the search. You can save several conditions in a user-defined filter. |
Search | The control searches the table. |
Reset | The control resets the entered conditions and removes any additional conditions. |
Save | You can save the entered conditions as a filter. You can assign any name to the filter. |
Refer to your machine manual.
This User's Manual describes the basic functions of the control. The machine manufacturer can adapt, enhance or restrict the control functions to the machine.
Settings in the Table workspace
In the Tables window, you can influence the contents shown in the Table workspace.
The Tables window consists of the following areas:
- General
- Column sequence
The General area
The setting selected in the General area is modally effective.
If the Synchronize table and form toggle switch is active, the cursor will move synchronously. If, for example, you select a different table column in the Table workspace, the control moves the cursor synchronously in the Form workspace.
The Column sequence area
The Column sequence area contains the following settings:
Setting | Meaning |

Use standard format | If you activate the toggle switch, the control shows all table columns, indicating them in the standard sequence. If you deactivate the toggle switch, the control restores the previous setting. |
User format | If you select the Reset button, the control resets the adaptations to the settings of the standard format. |
Toggle all | If you activate the toggle switch, the control shows all table columns. If you deactivate the toggle switch, the control hides all table columns. The first column in each table cannot be hidden. |
Number of frozen columns | You define how many table columns the control freezes at the left table edge. You can freeze up to four table columns. These table columns will remain visible even when you navigate further to the right within the table. |
Columns of the currently opened table | The control displays all table columns below each other. Use the toggle switches to separately hide or show each table column. The control displays a line below the selected number of frozen columns. When you select a table column, the control displays up and down arrows. Use these arrows to change the sequence of the columns. The respective first column in the table cannot be shifted. |
The settings in the Column sequence area only apply to the currently opened table.
