Yarn carrier tab

The Yarn carrier tab is only available for expanded patterns or technical patterns .
The entries can be overwritten by the technical processing.

The columns in the display window of the tab:

Column			Meaning
Row			Numbering of the technical rows. If several yarn carriers are used within a technical row, then the row is executed as many times as there are yarn carriers in this technical row.
Name			Name of yarn carrier. In the technical rows in which no yarn carrier is present, a - is shown. With a module Spacer appears when this has been assigned a spacer in a row.
Action			Yarn carrier action
		SEN edge	The yarn carrier is brought up to the SEN edge in this row.
		Lay-in	The thread has been laid-in in the knitting area.
		Swivel	An intarsia yarn carrier is used. This is swiveled.
		No swiveling	With a module it was specified for the Spacer of a yarn carrier that this is not to swivel.
		Clamping and cutting	The thread is clamped in this row. With a module a delay may be specified. If the symbol is followed by the character in conjunction with a number, then this means that clamping is not carried out in this row, but instead only after the specified number of stitch rows.
		Open clamp	The clamp is opened in this row. You can specify the number of rows for a yarn field in the Yarn field allocation dialog box before technical processing. This is copied to the technical row data by the technical processing function. If necessary, you can change the value in the setting area of this tab again after technical processing. The icons for the action of the yarn carrier are also shown in the control columns. The yarn carrier display bar must be activated for this purpose. In addition, you also see the name of the icons in the Action/Path tab.
				Open clamp in this row
			0	Do not open clamp (Y-1A:R0)
			n	Open clamp after n rows
HL			Left stopping position of the yarn carrier
HR			Right stopping position of the yarn carrier
		0	Home position
		-1 to 4	Staggering in accordance with the number of yarn carriers on a rail
Correction left			Stop correction for the left overrun path of the yarn carrier. Prior to technical processing a yarn carrier correction can only be entered for a placeholder. Therefore, a module used in the pattern must have a placeholder for a yarn carrier allocated, making the entry of a correction possible at all before technical processing. In addition to the value entry for a technical row, the yarn carrier correction can also be specified for the following areas: Yarn field (in the Yarn Field Allocation dialog box) Globally for the entire pattern (in Yarn Field Allocation dialog box) Technical row (graphically in the technical view)
Correction right			Stop correction for the right overrun path of the yarn carrier
	0		No correction
	+/-1 to 120		Correction by the number of steps specified

The setting area consists of a display window and several tabs. The following tabs are contained in the setting area:

Parking Position/correction
Action/path
Add

On the Stopping position / correction tab, the following settings are made:

Element	Meaning
Stopping position/Correction section
Parking position	Activate section. : The stopping positions are only applied in the knitting program (Sintral) when at least two yarn carriers are used on this yarn carrier track for the pattern and the yarn carriers work in this row up to the fabric selvedge.
HL	Select the left stopping position for staggering.
HR	Select the right stopping position for staggering.

YD	Activate section. Stop the yarn carriers at the fabric selvedge.
At the Left	Enter distance of the yarn carrier from the left fabric selvedge in 1/16 inch
At the Right	Enter distance of the yarn carrier from the right fabric selvedge in 1/16 inch

Correction	Activate section. Allocate a stop correction to several rows with different stopping positions.
At the Left	Select correction value for the left.
At the Right	Select correction value for the right.

On the Action/Path tab, the following settings are made:

SEN edge		The yarn carrier is moved to the SEN edge. Tip: Another way to change the yarn carrier path is provided with the Change yarn carrier path function in the context menu of the technical view.
Position+		The yarn carrier will be positioned with an additional distance (needles) from the fabric selvedge. This waiting position will be kept until the reuse of the yarn carrier.

On the Add tab, the following settings are made:

Element	Meaning
Add section
Right display field	The yarn carriers used in the pattern are displayed. You can allocate an additional yarn carrier to a technical row or replace the yarn carriers. To allocate certain properties to a module that concern the yarn carrier, you can add a Spacer to it. With it, you specify the following properties: Stopping position and correction Clamping and cutting after x rows Open clamp after x rows Move yarn carrier outside SEN area In the Yarn Field Allocation dialog box you can define which yarn carrier you want to use for the placeholder.
Display field on the left	Display the yarn carrier of the selected technical row.
