19 ALS 4.0 XE P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN 3.4.3 Bevel BEVELS brings up the following screen. Figure 25 Using the popup box, click or touch EDGE repeatedly until the edge of the piece requiring a bevel is red. Then click or touch the NONE button (below the EDGE button) until the bevel condition need is shown. Please note, in Figure 25 the button under EDGE displays DOUBLE. The double bevel condition has been selected for this edge and the display text has changed accordingly. The condition selected above is for a double 45° bevel on the plumb cut at the right end of the board. If a bevel angle other than 45° is needed, click or touch FRONT ANGLE or BACK ANGLE box and enter the desired angle. Front Angle means the bevel face that is facing up when the board is oriented as shown in the diagram. Back Angle means the bevel face on the opposite face of the board. The saw will cut a single bevel when only a Front Angle or a Back Angle is shown. The button that says DOUBLE above will say SINGLE when a setup is generated to cut a front or back angle bevel only. Click or touch the SET button after entering all the bevel information. The SETUP button will not appear until this is done. The SET button will also allow the placement of a bevel on more than one edge of the piece. When the bevel has entered for one of the edges, click or touch SET. This will hold the bevel data for that edge and allow the use of the EDGE button to proceed to another edge of the board where an additional bevel can be entered. This process is necessary when manually entering a floor truss web. 5. QTY TO CUT – Click or touch the box and enter the quantity required for the setup. 6. SAVE – Allows the user to save the Semi Auto Piece to a file (Section 4.3.1.1). 7. SIMULATION OFF – Click or touch the button to turn off the simulation of cuts on the board real time. 8. BEVEL SETTINGS – Allows user to manually set the Bevel Angles on Individual sides of the lumber (Section 4.3.1.2) 9. CANCEL – Cancels the current operation and returns the software to the Main Menu. 10. SETUP – Advances the software to Run Menu using the defined cut parameters. Now follow the instructions to setup the ALS 4.0 Upgrade in Section 4.3.1.3 which covers the Run Menu. 3.4.2 Semi-Auto Save Entering pieces using Semi Auto is a more flexible method. Use the Semi Auto input process to create the piece you would like to add to your Standard Pieces List. All the Semi Auto options can be used to create whatever piece you may need. Be sure to enter a large quantity to cut. 999 is recommended. When you have entered all the information, touch on the Semi Auto input screen. On the pop-up screen, the only entry item that the computer will take is the Piece Name. Enter the piece identification you would like to have printed for the Standard Piece when it is cut. Figure 24 Job Name is ignored for Standard Pieces. The Truss Name is always "StdPc". And the Lumber Grade is ignored. Add to Standard Pieces will automatically enter your piece information with the Piece Name into the Standard Piece List.
