Its purpose is to display cutting progress information in case there is a problem with the saw or with the motion control system. This information can be useful in diagnosing those problems. 1. NEXT STOCK PIECE LAYOUT – Provides advance notice of the next piece of stock that will need to be loaded into the saw for cutting. This information is always to view what is coming next. It's essential when the Multiple Stock feature active since the required stock is chosen by the computer from the multiple stock list for each stock that is run. When Multiple Stock is active, the Next Stock Piece Layout will identify which stock has been chosen for the next cut. While the current stock is being cut, the proper stock length for the next cut can be loaded. 2. PREVIOUS STOCK PIECE LAYOUT – Indicates the last stock fill the saw cut, if applicable. 3. NEXT STOCK – This button is used during Office Mode operation of the program only. 4. PAUSE – This button allows the cutting operation to be paused and cancel back to the Piece Layout Screen, or to continue cutting when ready. The button label will change to "CONTINUE" and pressing this button will resume the cutting process. 5.

ZIP FILES – Used for troubleshooting, it will gather up all of the files involved at the time (job file, user configuration file, machine configuration file) and zip them into a single file utilizing the date and time as the file name. This is all of the information needed to recreate the problem, and will be needed by Alpine Equipment Customer Service to troubleshoot a particular cutting problem. 2. OK – This button is used only during Office Mode operation of the program. It switches the program to the Cut Screen simulating detection of a board. When running a single stock length, the OK button will be visible but once the cut is completed the screen will return to the Cut Screen automatically.
