1. At the MultiTrac or Drynet console, access the shuttle Encoder form:
a. In the Dryer/Shuttle Controller (DevComm Setup) window, select Configure, Shuttles
and Cobucs on the menu. This displays one or more tabbed forms—one for each shuttle
device in the system.
b. Select the tab corresponding to the shuttle with the new laser device. This displays the
main configuration form for this shuttle.
c. Near the bottom right of the form, find the field Shuttle has an Encoder. Select (or re-
select) the value 1. This displays the Configure Shuttle Encoder form ( Figure 7 ).
2. Enter values in the fields on the left column of the encoder form in accordance with Table 2 .
3. Do this procedure for each position at which the shuttle stops:
a. At the stationary shuttle control box, manually move the shuttle to the stop position.
Ensure that the shuttle is precisely aligned with the interfacing device.
b. At the laser device, read the distance value in hundredths of units (inches or millimeters
as previously configured). Hence, read the displayed value 26147 as 261 inches or
millimeters.
c. At the Drynet controller, enter this value (whole inches or millimeters) in the appropriate
field:
• Distance at Home Station
• Distance at Load Station ___
• Distance at Discharge Station ___
