10 ALS 4.0 P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN Another option allows the TRS file to be viewed in a text file. Multiply all the piece quantities in a job using the Multiply Job Quantity function. This feature is useful when the production schedule calls for the job to be repeated, but the file is only for a single job. The multiplier can also be a fraction (entered as a decimal) to reduce the quantity. If there is a need to Move or Delete a file, this option is available. There are additional utility functions available. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Figure 11 Commonly used utilities are detailed below: A. RESTORE FILE – Red indicators appear when pieces in a job have been cut (shown in Figure 9). This button removes the red indicators, restoring the job as incomplete. B. RESTORE PIECE – Removes any stored cut information for the selected piece restoring it to uncut status. C. MARK PIECE CUT – Marks a single piece within the job cut as selected. The piece will turn red. Make sure the selected piece is actually cut before selecting this button. D. MARK JOB CUT – Marks all pieces in the job selected as completely cut. The entire job will then turn red. Make sure the job selected is correct and completely cut before selecting this button. E. DELETE ALL PICK LIST DATA – Deletes all the Pick List files in the current folder (.ini, .stk, .run, etc) NOTE This should always be done when any of the settings on the saw are changed or updated on the standard piece list. NOTE When running "MATCH ALL", the program MUST find a solution in the lumber definitions for the piece to be cut or the piece will be skipped. Currently, the program allows for a maximum of 112 different combinations of length, grade, and size of lumber. 2) PIECES IN CURRENT JOB is a summary of the total number of pieces for each grade and size required in the job. It is not a pick list, for information about creating pick lists, see section 3.11. The buttons down the center of the screen perform a variety of functions: 3) CHANGE JOB LOCATION – Allows user input to specify the computer path to the location where the jobs are stored. This path can be any location that is accessible from the saw computer. The hard drive of the computer, USB, or a network drives are all available by simply specifying the path. See Figure 10 for a screen capture of the dialog box. 4 Figure 10 4) NEW FILE (KBD) – If the file list is longer than the window, there will be a scroll bar on the right side for moving through the list. If the list is very long, this button can be used to bring up a keyboard so the name of the job can be typed in. When Enter is clicked or touched, the computer will find that job in the list. This button is located in both Figure 9 and Figure 10. 5) UTILITY – Brings up Figure 11 with a number of utility functions. Brief instructions for each utility are included on the screen. To re-run a previously cut job, restore the file to erase all the cut status information. An individual piece can be restored as well. Select an entire job or an individual piece to check that it has been cut. This makes it possible to delete all Pick Lists in currently selected folder, which should be done anytime the settings are changed.
