35 ALS 4.0 XE P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN 1 2 Figure 51 NOTE When a pick list is created, the options in effect at the time govern how the job is going to be cut and how the lumber for that job needs to be picked. So, it's very important that the job be cut using the same options. To make sure that happens, the program creates files that transfer the option information to the saw when the job is cut. When a job is opened, the computer looks for these files and resets the options to match the pick list options if necessary. If a job is transferred, job information to the saw using any means other than the network, for example a USB drive, it is necessary to transfer all job related files to insure the settings will be recognized by the saw. When selecting a job that has a pick list, the screen will display an alert that a pick list exists. The Create Pick List button will change to View Pick List and a Delete Picklist Data button will appear as circled in Figure 52. If the pick list is deleted, both will return to their original state and the transfer files will be erased. However, any changes that the transfer files made to the options and the lumber file will remain. The View Pick List button will bring up the popup labeled A in Figure 52: Figure 52 The selected piece will be automatically added to the Standard Piece List. 4. For each individual piece the quantity can be modified. NOTE The piece description from the job is saved to the Standard Piece List and cannot be changed. 3.10 Creating a Pick List When using the Multiple Stock feature, pick the lumber for each job ahead of time. The Create Pick List option must also be checked in General Options (Figure 8). The program will create a Pick List for the current job when the button is clicked or touched (Figure 8). The Pick List can be created at the saw in regular operating mode or in the office prior to sending the job to the saw. Figure 50 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. Chose one of two versions, with or without cut details. Both versions contain the Pick List and Summary information. 1. If the Pick List w/Cut Details are checked under Program Options (Section 3.7.5), the file will also contain details about each piece of stock that will be cut. Each line contains the stock length, lumber description, lumber size, and information about the pieces placed on each stock piece. The file is stored as comma delimited, allowing it to be imported by a spreadsheet software. Figure 51 shows an example of the complete file with Stock File Details, Summary, and Pick List. 2. If the Pick List is generated without Cut Details, it will generate a list of size, length, and grade only. NOTE Figure 52 shows both cases, with or without cut details.
