Below is an example of a Pockets & Tools file. Interpretation of the file is somewhat counter intuitive. The
T’s represent pocket positions while the P represent Tool numbers. L72 represents a heavy tool and L32
represents a regular tool. T01 represents a tool in the spindle. T02 represents a pocket position #1. Per
table below Tool 19 (P19) would be in pocket position #1. In the third line Tool 20 (P20) would be in pocket
position #2 (T03). The spindle probe is T24. In line four we find T24 (P24) in pocket position #3 (T04) noted
as a heavy tool (L72).
