• USE OF THE MACHINE WITH A PERSONAL COMPUTER
Taken for granted that the user is in possession of some Silca software, the following are the possibilities available.
The ‘Silca Code Program’ makes it possible to carry out searches by code for cutting data and to store the information in
a special work queue (or file).
This is a special function which has been created to help those users who wish to work with a number of simultaneous
searches. After having carried out a code search, the information is simply filed in the special work queue then everything
is transferred to the UNOCODE PRO.
The information transmitted by the Personal Computer cannot be altered manually. Each line transmitted corresponds to
a stage in the cutting process for one or more keys.
As described above, for each cutting process transmitted the number of pieces to be cut is set¸ a ‘+’ sign shows when the
cycle is finished.
The ‘+’ sign warns the operator that the last cutting operation has been carried out.
Should a work queue be interrupted, turn off the UNOCODE PRO. When the machine is turned on again and the <PC
queue> is called up, the list reappears, starting from the first line.
From the initial screen press F3 to enable the function.
