The rate at which an object increases its speed, expressed in Gs (G is a measure of
acceleration.). Acceleration parameters can be set for plotting and annotation.
AccuMark
Gerber Garment Technology’s workstation-based system for marking, grading, and
pattern design. You send plotting data from the AccuMark workstation to the plotter.
Annotation
Text that is plotted on a piece or marker. It can be the marker or piece name, size,
or the date, and so on.
Arrow Key

beam and carriage over the table and to change values in the menus displayed on
the control panel.
Beam
The beam spans the width of the plotter table and is where the carriage assembly is
located. The plotter pen moves to any location on the table as the beam moves up
and down, and the carriage rides left and right on the beam.
