None
Selecting None leaves the selected position blank.
Input/Output
Allows current state of selected Input, Outputs or Status information to be displayed
during cutting. This can be especially useful in debugging gas control sequencing
problems. To add or delete a desired Input, Output or Status point to the Input/Output list
box, double-click an item or highlight an item and + (add) or – (delete) keys on the alpha-
numeric keypad.
Position
Allows the position for the selected axis to be displayed. Only two axes may be displayed
at the Upper or Middle locations. The Lower location will allow up to four axes to be
displayed.
Following Error
Allows the Following Error to be displayed. Following Error is the distance between the
position the control has calculated and the actual position of the torch. A large Following
Error may indicate that the cut speed selected may be beyond the capability of the cutting
system. Only two axes may be displayed at the Upper or Middle locations. The Lower
location will allow up to four axes to be displayed.
Command Voltage
Allows the user to view directional motion command voltage being sent to the amplifier
for velocity type drives. This displayed voltage also equates to current being commanded
for motion in current type drives. Peak voltage can be displayed for a specified amount
of time.
Temperature
Selecting to add the Temperature information to the Watch window will display the
current temperature inside the control in Fahrenheit or Celsius (selected at the Special
Setups screen).
Note: Specific control hardware is required.
Speedometer
Allows cut speed, maximum machine speed and current machine speed to be graphically
displayed while cutting.
Oxy Fuel Torch Tip
Allows the selected oxy fuel torch tip (1- 12) consumable life to be graphically displayed
while cutting. This is especially useful in helping to determine when the torch tip should
be replaced and keeping track of torch tip data for statistical process control (SPC).
