JobServer
The HotWatch component of JobServer allows job files to be automatically transferred to the
MultiCam
Laser
by monitoring a specified directory on the computer. Whenever a file with a known extension appears in this
Inbox directory, HotWatch will transmit it to the laser and then move the file from the Inbox directory to the
Outbox directory. These directories do not have to be located on the local hard drive but can exist as shared
folders on a local or wide area network. HotWatch can be configured to check for new files at specified intervals
to help minimize network traffic.
The full path of the Inbox and Outbox directories is displayed in the HotWatch applet, and these directories can
be changed at any time by clicking on the Browse button to select another path. The HotWatch Status informs the
operator of all activities that HotWatch is performing.
HotWatch does not automatically monitor the Inbox directory or transmit job files. Operators must manually set
up
HotWatch
and
activate
this
function.
JobServer
The JobQueue component of JobServer allows jobs for production runs to be created and set up. The job file must
be created and started before JobQueue will execute, and the operator can set up JobQueue in the JobQueue
window. Once these settings are made and JobQueue is started, the operator will be prompted to start each job
after seeing the repetition number of the job being executed. This allows the operator to move to another home
position or unload and load material before
the
cutting
sequence.
