Header of the Sintral function

From the Sintral function the specifications for yarn carriers, stitch length, fabric take-down and carriage speed are read out automatically for the pattern. It is necessary that the commands which begin with CC are located on comment lines. These lines are located in the header of the Sintral function.
The entries of the header will be applied to Pattern Parameter table.

Use the following form for the yarn carrier definition:

Entry in header

Example

Meaning

YG:n=/n=
(n = 1 to 8)

CC YG:1=
CC YG:/2=
CC YG:3=/4=

Direct allocation of the yarn carriers. Yarn carriers with position left/position right on the rail n. Yarn number 256 is entered in the display window in the Yarn Field Allocation. This yarn number can not be used in the pattern.

YG:=A/=B

CC YG:=A
CC YG:/=B
CC YG:=C/=D

Indirect allocation of the yarn carriers via yarn type. Yarn type A with position left and yarn type B with position right. Yarn number 256 is entered in the display window in the Yarn Field Allocation.
: It is possible to combine direct and indirect allocation. Example:
CC YG:1==C/=D (Yarn carrier 1, C and D)
but CC YG:1=C/=D (yarn carriers 1 and D)

YG:=A(m)/=B(m)
(m = M1 yarn number)

CC YG:=A(207)/=B(209)
CC YG:4=A(23)

Indirect allocation of the yarn carriers via yarn type and M1 yarn number. For example, yarn carriers with yarn number 207 (draw thread) are inserted left and yarn carriers with yarn number 209 (elastic thread) are inserted right in the Yarn field allocation.

[N] or [I]

CC YG:1=[N]
CC YG:/=B[I]
CC YG:/4=A(23)[I]

Yarn carrier type normal or intarsia. Specification is optional. A yarn carrier type is issued by Technical Processing if one is not specified.

Use the following form for stitch length, fabric take-down and carriage speed:

Entry in header

Example

Meaning

WMFn
(n = 1 to 50)

CC WMF50
and
CC WMF49

Indirect allocation of the fabric take-down values via WMF index (n).
: You can define the fabric take-down values for the WMF index in the header of the Sintral function or in the Fabric Take-down Table.

Example from combthread_575.sin

MSECn=x
(n = 0 to 9)

CC MSEC8=1.1

Indirect allocation of the carriage speed via MSEC index (n) with value (x) in m/s.

Example from combthread_575.sin

NPn=x
(n = 1 to 100)

CC NP34=9.20mm
CC NP35=9.20MM
CC NP36=12.5

Indirect allocation of the stitch length via NP index (n) with NP value (x) or mm value (x).

Example from combthread_575.sin

PNPn=x
(n = 1 to 100)

CC PNP34=9.20mm
CC PNP35=9.20MM
CC PNP36=12.5

Indirect allocation of the reclaiming via PNP index (n) with NP value (x) or mm value (x).

NPSn=x
(n = 1 to 100)

CC NPS34=9.20mm
CC NPS35=9.20MM
CC NPS36=12.5

Indirect allocation of the second stitch tension via NPS index (n) with NP value (x) or mm value (x).

Spaces can be used. This are ignored when reading out.

If after the Sintral function, which is called-up within the pattern, the definition of the yarn carriers is to be repeated in Sintral, prefix the Sintral function name with +++.

Example: F:+++MYFUNCTION;

Example 1:

183 F:+++MYFUNCTION;

184 Y-5A:F1A^0;

185 << S:<1-><A>A(1)-0; Y:=D; S1

186 >> S:<1-><A>AH(1)-H(2); Y:=D; S3

Example 2:

183 F:MYFUNCTION;

184 << S:<1-><A>A(1)-0; Y:=D; S1

185 >> S:<1-><A>AH(1)-H(2); Y:=D; S3
