Creating, Saving and Loading Jobs (Settings)
A Gocator can store several hundred jobs. Being able to switch between jobs is useful when a Gocator is
used with different constraints during separate production runs. For example, width decision minimum
and maximum values might allow greater variation during one production run of a part, but might allow
less variation during another production run, depending on the desired grade of the part.
Most of the settings that can be changed in the Gocator's web interface, such as the ones in the
Manage , Measure , and Output pages, are temporary until saved in a job file. Each sensor can have
multiple job files. If there is a job file that is designated as the default, it will be loaded automatically
when the sensor is reset.
When you change sensor settings using the Gocator web interface in the emulator, some changes are
saved automatically, while other changes are temporary until you save them manually. The following
table lists the types of information that can be saved in a sensor.
Setting Type Behavior
Job Most of the settings that can be changed in the Gocator's web interface, such as the ones
in the Manage , Measure , and Output pages, are temporary until saved in a job file.
Each sensor can have multiple job files. If there is a job file that is designated as the
default, it will be loaded automatically when the sensor is reset.
Alignment Alignment can either be fixed or dynamic, as controlled by the
Alignment Reference
setting in Motion and Alignment in the Manage page.
Alignment is saved automatically at the end of the alignment procedure when
Alignment Reference is set to Fixed . When Alignment Reference is set to
Dynamic
, however, you must manually save the job to save alignment.
Network Address Network address changes are saved when you click the Save button in Networking on
the Manage page. The sensor must be reset before changes take effect.
The job drop-down list in the toolbar shows the jobs stored in the sensor. The job that is currently active
is listed at the top. The job name will be marked with "[unsaved]" to indicate any unsaved changes.
To create a job:
1. Choose [New] in the job drop-down list and type a name for the job.
2. Click the Save button or press Enter to save the job.
The job is saved to sensor storage using the name you provided. Saving a job automatically sets it as
the default, that is, the job loaded when then sensor is restarted.
