Mazatrol T1 problem

[careyp]

I recently had to repair an old slant turn 40 with a Mazatrol T1 controller. I foolishly disconnected the 3.6v battery pack and lost both the parameter data, which was smartly backed up on paper, and all the tool data and tool set data. I was able to input the parameters, but the tool data and tool set are still missing. Although the turret holds 15 tools, the tool data page shows tools 1 thur 8, then 21 thru 24, then 60 thru 63. The manual has a picture showing this same thing. The operator says it used to go 1 thru 24. My question is:
1) what is the actual procedure to input tool data? How do i measure tools and inserts.
2) Is there a way to create tool data numbers 9 thru 20?
3) What does the tool set do, and does its data come from the program or from manual input.

I have been out of the CNC game for a while. Any advice would be appreciated.

Update: itturns out thet most slant turn 40s have only 8 tools on the outside ring (1-8) and 4 on the inside (21-24), so when I put in the parameters, it decided that it was an 8 tool machine. i discovered that the SQ parameter on the second parameter page controls the machine configuration with a 16 bit number. the 10 tool turret is bit 32. I tried various values of the different options and rebooted the controller, but so far no luck. I'm glad its friday and I don't have to see it again till monday.
