Number of tools in the tool group.

Tool life value.

Tool group count (number of cuts).

Units to be used to increment the count (either Cycles or Minutes).

Lathe CNC	Type T	Are read-only.

Point Configuration

Specify the following for tool group data points.

Point Class	ANALOG
Type	DINT
Access	Read/Write
Valid Addresses	TDGN<X>, where X is the tool group number
Number of Elements	4

Point array elements

The elements of the Individual Tool Data point array are as follows.

Element 0	The number of tools in the tool group
Element 1	The tool life value
Element 2	The tool group count (number of cuts)
Element 3	The units to be used to increment the counter. The value identifies the unit as follows.
	Value	Unit
	0	Cycles
	1	Minutes

 Note: If the first element of the array point, element 0, has a value of 0, this indicates that no tools have been registered in this tool group. If this is the case, then you should not try to set the other elements of this array point.
