Default

When entering a cycle in the Cycles dialog box, a repetition factor can be specified. This appears in the Default column and can still be changed later here.
The Default column is influenced by the Behavior column and vice versa. With a row cycle the entry Cycle appears in the Behavior column. With a width cycle the entry Repeatable part appears. The value in the Default column can only be edited for these two entries. If another entry is selected, negative values appear in the Default field. These cannot be edited. The cycles have a different behavior with these entries. A check is carried out as to whether the value of the parameter specified in the RS column lies within the value range of the Min and Max columns.
Example:

Column	Entry
RS	Gauge
Min	20
Max	20
Default	-1
Behavior	Switchable cycle

The cycle is carried out when a machine with the gauge 20 is concerned.

If different values are specified for Min and Max, then the cycle is carried out when the machine gauge lies within this value range.

The meaning of the negative values for row cycles:

Value in Default column	Display in Behavior column	Meaning
-1	Switchable cycle	If the value of the parameter specified in the RS column is contained in the value range specified in the columns Min and Max, then the cycle is carried out once. This switch is used with the modules supplied by Stoll for the comb starts in the Starts/Stoll module group. Here, for example, a switch is installed for whether or not the comb is to be used. For example, the Sintral has the following appearance: IF RS17 = 0 F:SWITCH-1; C Comb on/off IF #137 = 20 F:SWITCH-4; C Addl.Start.E20
-2	Waiting loop	The cycle is carried out until the value from the RS column has reached the value range in the columns Min and Max. This switch is used with the modules supplied by Stoll for knitting-in of the comb thread in the Technical/Comb thread module group. In the process it is ensured that the comb is in its home position before it moves upward after knitting-in the comb thread. For example, the Sintral has the following appearance: IF #140 = 1 F:SWITCH-3; GOTO #123 C Comb in END
-3	Individual switchable row for clamping	If the parameter specified in the RS column is within the value range specified in the Min and Max columns, then the instruction is carried out, otherwise it is not. The difference to the switchable cycle lies in the fact that this cycle is allocated to a single system. With this cycle the elastic yarn is clamped. This is carried out when RS 19 = 1. As with the cycle counter RS 19 the use of the elastic yarn is activated and deactivated, this means that the elastic yarn is clamped when it is used in the pattern. In the process the clamping of elastic thread is carried out in System 1 and the transfer rows that follow in the pattern in System 2. If the RS for the elastic thread is now switched off, then the system for clamping is also switched off. However, the transfer row in System 2 from this stroke is retained. This cycle is inserted by Technical Processing when a comb start with elastic yarn and with a loose row has been selected as a transition. The related Sintral lines are, for example: SBEG Y-1B:F1B; IF RS19=1 Y-1B:C; V0 S1 >> S:<1->UVS+; S2 WMF4 SEND
-4	Row alternatively switched on instead of clamping	If the parameter specified in the RS column is within the value range specified in the Min and Max columns, then the instruction is not carried out in this system. This cycle is an empty row. This is not carried out when RS 19 = 1. As with the cycle counter RS 19 the use of the elastic yarn is activated and deactivated, this means that no empty row is carried out when the elastic yarn is used. On the other hand, an empty row is carried out when the elastic yarn is not used. This is necessary, as otherwise the carriage would be on the wrong side. This cycle is inserted by Technical Processing when a comb start with elastic yarn and with an RR transition has been selected. It is used in conjunction with the cycle Individual switchable row for clamping. The related Sintral lines are, for example: SBEG Y-1B:F1B; IF RS19=1 Y-1B:C; V0 S1 IF RS19<>1 V0 S0 SEND
-1	Multiply switchable cycle	The multiply switchable cycle is a special case. With it a motif can be shortened with a cycle counter. To do this, several switchable cycles are automatically formed within the selected area with the number of pattern rows specified in the Min column. The specified cycle counter is used everywhere. Reducing the value for this cycle counter on the machine enables the motif to be shortened. The user himself/herself is responsible for the transition to the pattern after the end of the motif.

The meaning of the negative values for width cycles:

Value in Default column	Display in Behavior column	Meaning
-1	Center part	If the value of the RS is within the value range of the columns Min and Max, then this cycle is carried out once. The columns defined here do not change their position relative to the connection piece.
-2	Connecting part	If the value of the RS is within the value range of the columns Min and Max, then this cycle is carried out once. These columns are added on to the center piece in the knitting program (Sintral).

When using width cycles, a size table is generated in the knitting program (Sintral). For this you can specify a cycle counter / counter in the Configuration in the Size table section.
With patterns for machines with a comb, only width cycles can be used when the comb start is not implemented with the modules, but instead with a Sintral function.
