Sintral/Setup Section

List field
Setup1 always in Sintral

Put the Setup data in the Sintral file

Enter stitch length in [mm]

Save the stitch tension as a mm value in the Setup file, otherwise as an NP value.
: With a specified mm value, the value no longer needs to be converted on the machine when Yarn Length Measuring is used.

Group transfer rows

Group several consecutive transfer rows to a jacquard line in the jacquard (*.jac). This saves jacquard lines.

Minimize by functions (not for STx11 machines)

Call-up identical Sintral blocks by functions. This reduces the memory requirement of the machine.
: The Sintral line number can not be displayed in the Jacquard control column with the check box active.
