LINK Systems LinkNet II - Manual (Page 58)

4.14 Tonnage Wave Capture Configuration
LinkNet has tonnage
signature capture built in. In
fact, the system can be set up
so that tonnage monitor
equipped presses can print a
waveform right from the
press. To do this, LinkNet
needs to know the orientation
(portrait or landscape) of the
paper and the printer to use.
Select “Tonnage Wave
Capture” from the
“Configure” menu to bring
up the dialog box of Figure
4.38.
This dialog box contains
the settings for two different
print types. “Reference”
printouts print out each
channel of the tonnage
monitor separately (but still
on one page) as well as
numerical peak tonnage and setpoint information. “View” printouts print whatever is viewed on the
screen as large as possible on the printer. For each printer, choose the default paper orientation and the
printer to use.

Note that these settings can be changed when the graph is printed from LinkNet, but if the graph is
printed directly from a press, it will automatically use the “Reference” settings.
In addition to the printer settings, there are two parameters called “Auto-Scale X Percent” and
“Auto-Scale Y Percent”. These parameters control the amount of space LinkNet will try to leave around
a tonnage signature graph when it automatically scales the graph when a new signature is captured. The
typical values of 10% for X and 5% for Y should work in most applications.
