5. EDITING PATTERN DATA
5-1. Tension information in pattern data
Tension codes are recorded in the pattern data to provide tension information.
The tension codes indicate the type of tension (T1 to T9).
In addition, the units which tension codes are divided into are called sections, and sequential numbers are assigned to them
starting from the first stitch. Up to a maximum of 99 sections are possible.
* The tension values for the tension codes are set in program mode for each program.
Example: Pattern No. 200
Section <1> Section <2> Section <3> Section <4>
Needle Drop No. <1> Needle Drop No. <2> Needle Drop No. <10> Needle Drop No. <28>
Tension Code <T1> Tension Code <T6> Tension Code <T4> Tension Code <T1>
Upper thread tension <75> Upper thread tension <125> Upper thread tension <110> Upper thread tension <75>
