Defining and administering user-defined events

With this administrator program you can define and administer up to 32 767 user-defined events. A maximum of 100 of these can be active. The activated event definitions are transferred to each machine that is activated for the evaluation in Stoll-knit report®. The machine operator can then trigger this user-defined event at any time.

An user-defined event consists of the following elements:

However, you have the possibility of defining an extension, to make not only a static entry in the database but to query also user entries and to save them in the database. This type is called a Customized Info Event.


State: This event simultaneously triggers a change in the user-defined state.

The symbol is displayed on the user interface of the machine and during the evaluation in the Stoll-knit report® (Machine overview menu). The symbol identifies an user-defined state.

Applying the event definitions to machines

The defined events must be applied to the machines. To avoid an update and an unnecessary network overload caused by each change, the definitions are only transferred to the machine after you close the User Event Administration dialog box.
Additionally either a waiting time of approx. 10 min. has to end or the machine must notify an event.
