Ktesibios Drill Tables

In order to be able to use the toe board hole feature in KT1.2 you need to have a license. This particular license must be purchased and will be sent to the customer via e-mail. Please contact us to purchase one if you do not have it.

Three files need to be customized in order to use your own toe board, slider and chest hole information.

MAIN.INI

This file contains the bulk of the information and reads additional information from the two other files STO.INI and STU.INI. The syntax is as follows:

CODE:BEGIN,END,STO,STU;BEGIN,END,STO,STU; etc

CODE....Can be a number or word. Identifies a particular size hole.
BEGIN...First note of a section
END.....Last note of a section
STO.....Name or number of the top toe board hole. This is used to retrieve the Diameter from the file STO.INI.
STU.....Name or number of the bottom toe board hole, the slider hole and the chest hole. This is used to retrieve the diameters and locations of the above mentioned holes from the file STU.INI.

Example:

14:C,H,0,0;c0,ds0,24,2x21;e0,g0,22,2x21; etc.

Explanation:

14 is the CODE which is also entered by the user to specify with hole he would like for a particular stop.
The first section stretches from C to H and has no further information. The tow zeros indicate that there is no hole information on these notes.
The second section stretches from c0 to ds0, has a top toe board hole named 24 (in this example 24 is the actual diameter) and a bottom toe board hole named 2×21 (as you will see in the example for the STU.INI file this means that there are two holes with a diameter of 21mm). This continues until all sections cover all notes.

STO.INI

This file contains information on the diameters of the top toe board holes. The syntax is as follows:

CODE:DIAMETER;

CODE...Identifies a particular diameter and is used in MAIN.INI (STO).

Example:

36:36;

Explanation:

36 is the code, here it happens to be the same as the diameter. It could also be a name, the user can choose what he wants to use. This keeps it flexible.

STU.INI

This file contains the diameter and location information of the bottom toe board hole, the slider hole and the chest hole. The syntax is as follows:

CODE:TB_DIAMETER,SL_DIAMETER,CH_DIAMETER,
XCOORD,YCOORD;TB_DIAMETER, etc.

CODE...Identifies a particular diameter and is used in MAIN.INI (STU).
TB_DIAMETER...Diameter of the first of possible 8 bottom toe board holes.
SL_DIAMETER...Diameter of the first of possible 8 slider holes.
CH_DIAMETER...Diameter of the first of possible 8 chest holes.
XCOORD...X-coordinate of this group of holes (bottom toe board hole, slider hole, chest hole) relative to the pipe center.
YCOORD...Y-coordinate of this group of holes (bottom toe board hole, slider hole, chest hole) relative to the pipe center.

Example:

2x21:37,21,21,0,22;37,21,21,0,-22; etc.

Explanation:

The code is 2×21 and means that there are 2 holes at 21 diameter in this particular example.
The first set of holes (toe board, slider and chest) have the diameters 37 (toe board), 21 (slider) and 21 (chest).
All these holes have the same coordinates:
0 in x from the pipe center and 22 in y from the pipe center.
The second set of holes also has 0 in x, but -22 in y. This means that the holes are 44mm apart.
There can be up to 8 holes defined in this table for each code.
