7.5 Sending Tonnage Graphs from the OmniLink 5000 (Monochrome OIT)
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 4.14 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.

• Hit the “NETWORK OPS” softkey to go into the down time code screen.
• Hit the “NOTES” softkey to enter the notes screen. Any machine notes that have been entered in the
LinkNet machine configuration (see section 4.9.1.5 for details on how to enter machine notes) will
appear on the screen. If the notes are longer than a screen, then a “NEXT PAGE” or “PREV PAGE”
softkey will appear as appropriate.
• A softkey called “DIE NOTES” will appear when viewing machine notes, and a softkey called
“MACHINE NOTES” will appear while viewing job notes. Once in the notes screen, hit the “DIE
