You can create the Pick List at the saw in regular operating mode or in the office in Office Mode. A file will be created with the same name as the job and the extension .STK. The file will be placed in the same directory as the job. You can create two versions of this file. Both versions contain the Pick List and Summary information. If you check Stock File Details under Program Options, the file will also contain details about each piece of stock that will be cut. Each line of these details contains the stock length, lumber description, lumber code, lumber size, and information about the pieces placed on the stock. If desired, you can interface this information with other programs. Here's an example of the complete file with Stock File Details, Summary, and Pick List: Figure 11 3.2.5 Single Piece Run Will cause the saw to cut only the piece that you have highlighted. When you touch this button, the saw will start and the Piece Layout Screen will appear showing the piece placed on the stock you have specified. The computer will place as many of the selected piece on the stock as it can, but it will not look through the file for other pieces to place on the stock. When you push the stock lumber into the feeder, the cutting operation will begin. If the quantity of the selected piece is greater than the number that could be placed on the stock, additional stock pieces will be used until the total quantity of the selected piece has been cut. When all the pieces have been cut, you will be returned to the Piece Select Screen so that you can select another piece for cutting. The OPTIMIZE feature is non-functional in Single Piece mode.
