I agree with Dave that you should be able to just download from a memory card. Now you can change the data with the G10 but you won’t be able to change the “description” of the tool. If you don’t have the manual for the proper format in which you can load this data with the tool description then you could manually type in a tool description and the data then punch it out of the control to a card and look at the format so you know how to write it to the card before uploading it.

If your tool data is changing after every operation then you will have to load the program and data before every operation.

I am not up with the exact syntax of the 31i control but this should work.

Well, would you believe it...

Seems that the facility to alter the tool data using custom macro does indeed exist, have attached the relevent literature just in case anyone out there is insane enough to want to do it this way also...

Many thanks to viorel26 and gbowne1 for the pdfs!

Having toyed with the feature I have to say it's not super quick - try to update more than a couple of tools in succession and it gets very confused. I've tried putting in buffers and G4s and such to slow it down, but to no avail. I'll have to settle for each tool in the magazine being individually updated at the tool call, but at least the simulation side of things should now be a doddle.
