<> +/- [mm]

Horizontal correction of the insertion position (knitting position):

  • For knitting
  • For weft yarn (yarn carrier defined as Q)

Positive value:
Correction of the home position to the right (following)

Negative value:
Correction of the home position to the left (in advance)

: Attention:
The entered value is added to the values of the YPI tab.

Minimum value:  - 100
Maximum value:   100

Step width: 0.1 mm

^v +/- [mm]

Vertical correction of the insertion position (knitting position):

  • For knitting
  • For weft yarn (yarn carrier defined as Q)

Positive value:
Correction of the home position upward (steep yarn angle)

Negative value:
Correction of the home position downward (flat yarn angle)

MSEC

Defined carriage speed when knitting with selected yarn carrier

V

Reduce carriage speed for the selected yarn carrier.
I.e. the speed is reduced to 75% from the carriage reversal point until reaching the knitting area of the selected yarn carrier.
Then it can be chosen between the following possibilities:

  • n = 1: Acceleration up to 100%
  • n = 2: Reduce to 50% - Retain speed for 2 inch fabric width - Accelerate to 100%
  • n = 3: Reduce to 50% - Retain speed for 5 inch fabric width - Accelerate to 100%
  • n = 0: Deletion of the defined carriage speed

Correction of the yarn carrier in the 'High position'

Minimum value:  - 2.0
Maximum value:   5.0

Step width: 0.1 mm
Default.  0

Correction of the yarn carrier in the 'Deep position'

A-MSEC

Speeds for a yarn carrier with a system independent, autarkic yarn carrier run (miss-knit).

Minimum value:  0.05
Maximum value:   2.0

Step width:  0.05

F

Automatic tracking active: The yarn carrier follows the shape / counter
(Default)

Automatic tracking not active: The yarn carrier does not follow the shape / counter (yarn carrier stops)
