Websaw Software
The Websaw software is a Windows application that provides an interface for the operator of the
Websaw. When upgrading the Websaw software both the PMAC microcode and Websaw software
must be kept up to latest versions (see software upgrade for additional details).
The above operator screen allows for quick and easy operation of the Websaw.
Within the Websaw software under “Input / Output” you can view what PMAC PLCs that are
running and check the status of various sensors. This screen is primarily used to troubleshoot
problems. For an complete explanation of each option see “Websaw Software”.
