6.5 Sending Tonnage Graphs from the
OmniLink 5000
LinkNet has the ability to receive and display
tonnage signatures from the OmniLink 5000 tonnage
monitor. To send a tonnage signature to LinkNet,
take the following steps:
@
From the main menu of the OmniLink OIT,
hit the “TONNAGE MONITOR” softkey to
enter the tonnage monitor main screen.
@
Hit the “GRAPH” softkey to enter the
tonnage monitor graph settings screen.
@
Hit the “SEND GRAPH” key to enter the
wave screen. Note that the Run/Prog key
MUST be in the Prog position for this key to
be available.
@
Hit the “WAVE TO NETWORK” softkey to
send the signature to LinkNet. It will be
displayed in a window automatically at the
LinkNet computer. It may then be viewed,
saved, or printed. If the network is off line
or not configured this softkey will not be
present. The status of the transfer will be
shown on the screen and an indication of
success or failure will be made at the end of
the transfer. Note that depending on the
number of machines connected and network
load this operation can take more than a
minute.
@
Hit the “PRINT WAVE” softkey to
automatically print a reference waveform to
the configured printer (see section 3.6 for
details on this). If the network is off line or
not configured this softkey will not be
present. The status of the transfer will be
shown on the screen and an indication of
success or failure will be made at the end of
the transfer. Note that depending on the
number of machines connected and network
load this operation can take more than a
minute.
@
Hit the “ARCHIVE WAVE” to send the
waveform to LinkNet for storage in the
waveform database. The waveform will be
stored in the database by machine number,
die number, and date/time of capture. If the
network is off line or not configured this
softkey will not be present. The status of
the transfer will be shown on the screen and
an indication of success or failure will be
made at the end of the transfer. Note that
depending on the number of machines
connected and network load this operation
can take more than a minute.

when viewing machine notes, and a softkey
called “MACHINE NOTES” will appear
while viewing die notes. Once in the notes
screen, hit the “DIE NOTES” softkey to
display the notes entered for the currently
