14 ALS 4.0 P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN 3.3.4 Change Stock Screen (Multi Stock Option) Figure 18 When Match Grade-Size is selected, the Multiple Stocks screen will appear as shown in Figure 18. Each line across the page represents one combination of length, size, and grade of stock. Make sure to enter all the possible combinations available. Only the combinations indicated by a check mark will be used by the ALS program. If certain stocks are unavailable click or touch the yellow LENGTH to turn it off. Figure 19 If there are more than the 14 combinations that will fit on one page, click or touch this button (Figure 19) and enter the total combinations up to 112. The computer will add pages to this screen based on the number of combinations entered. The page names can be left as default or changed. Click or touch LABEL (Figure 18) to add a custom label to the page. NOTE Always change the number of max stocks in multiples of 14, since the saw only looks at the total number indicated. For instance, if 105 is selected then the saw will not look at the last 7 stock options on page 8. However, all 14 stocks will be listed on page 8. 3.3.3 Change Stock Screen (Single Stock Option) Figure 16 Figure 17 This screen allows stock length selection. The selection is made by clicking or touching the yellow numbers corresponding to the length located in the column on the left side of the screen. The LENGTH buttons are used when it is necessary to change the value of the stock length in the yellow numbers. It is recommended that this value be the exact length that of the stock being used. NOTE The saw will make no judgment on stock overage. For example, when cutting two 8-0-0 boards from a single piece of stock, the minimum length required by the saw is 16-0-12. The saw assumes it must make three cuts (trim at both ends and cut at 8 ft) to get the two 8-0-0 pieces and each of those cuts will remove the ¼" kerf. This is why a 16-0-0 board cannot be used for this cut.
