Datacolor provides you additional information to get the most out of your software:
The attached document contains the Mettler scale SICS communications protocol and how to test the scale using the HyperTerminal program.
See attached document for the list of scales supported in Datacolor Weigh software.
Datacolor Process uses a set of local look up tables to speed up the opening of screens. Occasionally these sets of look up tables can become corrupted slowing the software and so need resetting. Follow the procedure in the attached document to reset the tables.
Follow the instructions in the attached procedure.
In Job ticket, it is not possible to change the volume in Operation. But it is possible to introduce a factor in the Recipe Template call-off.
The call-off volume will be equal to the dyelot volume multiplied by this factor. See attached document.
The quantities of dyestuffs must be modified following rules that are specific to each dyestuff. In this example, the adaptation depends on the liquor ratio, but it can be adapted to other variables.
The attached document has been written for Datacolor Process v.2.1. Since Datacolor Process 2.2, it is possible to add parameters to each dyestuff record and even formulas (see IP2 TN011 – Quantity related to each dye.doc). With this new feature, you can simplify the following procedure by including the dyestuff factor calculation directly in the dyestuff record.
In Datacolor Process or ITMProcess, it is not possible to create a dyelot that uses two or more machines at the same time. You have to create a virtual machine that has the total volume of the machines you want to couple. See attached document.
“select * from Dyelot where dyelot_Id like ’%45%’ order by dyelot_id”
Units cannot be selected by a formula but, however, it is possible to introduce rules to select units.
Problem:
Dyes quantities less than 10g must be expressed as a volume of a stock solution at 100% or 10%.
Solution:
As formulas cannot be introduced to select a unit, we will introduce in the dye operation two dyes lines, one with a unit expressed as a volume and the other with a unit expressed as a weight.
To avoid from displaying twice a dye (one time for each unit), we will introduce a formula that sets quantity to zero when the unit is the wrong one. As the dyes quantities should not be definitively modified by these formulas, formulas will be set as ‘display only’.
See attached document.
Use the function ChangePickup
example: IN CASE OF… THEN ChangePickup(ValueOf(’Newvolume’))
This report is useful to check the information you introduce in dyestuffs, in tab ’Dyestuff’ tables ’Parameters’ and ’Auxiliaries’. See attached document.
See attached document for procedure.
