minute poll is multiplied by the remaining parts to
be produced as given by the part counter to get an
estimated completion time. Note that if the part
counter is turned off or the average production rate
is 0, this field will display “?:??” because there is not
enough information to calculate a completion time.
If the last 10 minute poll production rate is 0, the 15
second average strokes per minute is used instead.
Pk Tons - The peak forward tonnage of the
last stroke if a tonnage monitor is present.
Each of these column headings can be clicked on
to sort the machines by the heading data. For
instance, if the “Mach #” heading is clicked, the
machine will be sorted by ascending machine
number. If the heading is clicked again, the
machines will be sorted by descending machine
number. Likewise, if the “Pk Tons” heading is
clicked, the machines will be sorted by ascending
tonnage and so on for each column. A small arrow
appears in the column heading that is being used to
sort and points up for ascending order and down for
descending order.
4.2 Detail Dialogs
Additional detail can be viewed on a machine by
machine basis by double clicking anywhere on the
row for a machine in the overview window. This
brings up a tabbed dialog with several different
sections of information. Each section is a tab at the
top of the dialog box.
4.2.1 Counter Detail
The counter detail screen (“Counters” tab - see
Figure 4.2) is the default for the tabbed dialog box.
This has the status, count, limit, and estimated time
to completion of the part, batch, and quality
counters. Estimated time to completion is given in
hours, minutes, and seconds and is calculated the
same way as the TTC field in the overview screen
(see section 4.1).

4.2.2 Average Tonnage Detail
The average tonnage detail screen (“Avg Tons”
tab - see Figure 4.3) graphically shows the average
tonnage for a machine for the current day.

The current day starts with the first shift on that
day and ends with the last shift on that day. This
means that a “current day” may not necessarily start
or end on the same day. For instance, if on Monday
shift 1 is configured to start at 6:00AM Monday and
run to 2:00PM Monday, shift 2 is configured to start
at 2:00PM Monday and run to 10:00PM Monday,
and shift 3 is configured to start at 10:00PM
Monday and end at 6:00AM Tuesday, then
“Monday” runs from 6:00AM Monday to 6:00AM
