4.2.22 Intarsia yarn carrier - Adjust stopping point (basic
setting, braking value) *
With an intarsia yarn carrier it is important that it is stopped exactly above the
last needle of its knitting area. Otherwise the following error possibilities will
be:

During the knitting it may cause erroneous switchings as the control
calculated the yarn carrier on another position than it is actually located on.
Consequence: The yarn carrier is not swivelled or it is not taken along.

The yarn can be knitted-in and this way an uncleaned colour edge would
be the result.
Stopping position (on the left: wrong, on the right: correct)
Stopping position (on the left: wrong, on the right: correct)
If the intarsia yarn carrier does not stop exactly above the last needle, you
have to correct the braking value and not the correction value.
An adjusting program is available for controlling the stopping positions. With
this program you can easily check and adjust the braking values of the intarsia
yarn carrier.
When creating the intarsia pattern on the M1plus (starting with version 5.3)
you specify that the adjusting program is to be integrated in the pattern.
On the knitting machine you run the adjusting program before or also during
the production. An embroidery stitch line is knitted with all the Intarsia yarn
carriers used in the pattern for you to be able to check the correct stopping
position quickly and easily.
You can correct the stopping position of the yarn carrier changing the braking
values for the yarn carrier.
