(A) Display number
A display number is displayed at the leftmost position of the screen. A
display number is used to edit and search for tool data (tool numbers,
tool pot numbers, tool length compensation values, cutter
compensation values). When tool data is deleted or inserted, the tool
data corresponding to the display numbers is changed.
(B) Tool number
A tool number is used as a T code in an NC program.

Pot # represents a pot number. When a tool number is specified, the pot
number corresponding to the tool number is output as a code signal
together with a strobe signal to the machine. For data for which the
same pot number is set, an asterisk (*) is prefixed to the tool pot
numbers.
