Y-1A:HR m ;

Yarn carrier 1A moves on the right to position m (0-4)

Y-1A:HL m G;

Yarn carrier 1A goes on the left to position m (0-4). This position becomes the new home position.

Y-1A:F1AY;

Yarn carrier 1A follows symbols AY in field 1; max. F1-F4 and max. 8 symbols per yarn carrier.
The specifications can be entered one after another, but the field must be the last specification, e.g.: Y-1A:I< K10-8 F1AY;

Y-1A:F1AY^0;

The home position of the yarn carrier is only dependent on field 1, regardless of the racking position (e.g. for a very large racking).

#Y n

Memory for number of yarn carriers of a yarn type n (A-Z,.,+,*) in the current carriage position

()

Brackets to repeat information, e.g.: Y:10(2/3/3) 8(4/5/5);

Y-1A:N2;

Normal yarn carrier type 2 (without lifters)
The intarsia yarn carrier type1 or type2 and the normal yarn carrier type2 can work on one track.

Y-1A:V n ;

Reduce carriage speed (n) for yarn carrier 1A (n = 0..3). The speed is reduced to 75 % from the carriage reversal point until the area of use for yarn carrier 1A is reached.

Then it can be chosen between the following possibilities:

• V1 (black line)
  Acceleration to 100 % of the carriage speed
• V2 (red doted line)
  3 = Braking down to 50%
  Maintain speed over a fabric width of 1 inches, acceleration up to 100%
• V3 (green dashed line)
  Reduce speed to 50%, keep speed over a knit fabric width of 2.5 inches, accelerate to 100%
• V4 (black line)
  Acceleration to 100 % carriage speed
  If the yarn carrier leaves its knitting area, then the speed is reduced from 100 to 70%.
• V5 (red doted line)
  Reduce speed to 50%, keep speed over a knit fabric width of 1 inch, accelerate to 100%
  Before the yarn carrier leaves the knitting area (1 inch) the speed is reduced from 100 to 50%.
• V6 (green dashed line)
  Reduce speed to 50%, keep speed over a knit fabric width of 2.5 inches, accelerate to 100%
  Before the yarn carrier leaves the knitting area (2.5 inches) the speed is reduced from 100 to 50%.
• V0
  Deactivation of yarn carrier-specific carriage speed

Y-1A:MSEC= n.nn

If yarn carrier 1A is used, then the carriage speed is n meters / second (0.05 - 1.2; 0.00=switch off)

Y-1A:P;

Yarn carrier 1A is defined as a plating yarn carrier. Indication important for yarn carrier control. This order takes into account the wider widths of the plating yarn carrier tip when positioning the yard carrier. (Not for plating with 2 yarn carriers)

Y-5A:PA;

The yarn carrier 5A will be defined as a double bow yarn carrier.
The specification is important for yarn carrier checking and for clamping / cutting. The command considers the larger width for both yarn carrier tips.

YD n = m - o ¹

Yarn carrier distance on track n (1-8) from the left (m) and right (o) hand fabric selvedge
m,o=0-160
Step width: 1=1/16 inch=1.6 mm
starting with OKC: Step width: 0.5=1/32 inch=0.8 mm

Not active when a YD specification was made for a single yarn carrier (Y-1A:YDm-o).

Y-1A:YD m - o ;

Distance from yarn carrier 1A from the left (m) and right (o) hand fabric selvedge.
m,o=0-160
Step width: 0.5=1/32 inch=0.8 mm

also possible:
Y-1A:YDm; Distance from the left fabric selvedge
Y-1A:YD-o; Distance from the right fabric selvedge

Only for OKC machines starting with the operating system V_OKC_002.005.000_STOLL (or higher)

YDF= n ¹

Additional yarn carrier distance n (1-20 needles) during fully fashion knitting

Y-1A:W n ;

Additional yarn carrier distance n (0-999 needles) during fully fashion knitting. The yarn carrier is put in a waiting position outside the fabric selvedge. The reference point is the HOME position of the yarn carrier.
The yarn carriers will not follow the fabric edge during narrowing.
The function is switched off when the yarn carrier is reused.

YD

Yarn carrier staggering process (default setting)
Distance of the yarn carriers from the left and the right fabric selvedge (track 1 to 8 = YD1 to YD8)
Value range: 0-160. Step width: 0.5=1/32 inch=0.8 mm
(From Setup2)

YDI n

Further yarn carrier staggering processes on the left and right hand fabric selvedge (n=1-20)
Value range: 0-160. Step width: 0.5=1/32 inch=0.8 mm
(From Setup2)

YC

Yarn carrier corrections for all yarn carriers (default setting) (From Setup2)

YCI n

Further yarn carrier corrections (n=1-20) for all yarn carriers
0 = Factory settings are effective
