During the move, the blue arrow indicator on the left of the Vertical Position window will move to indicate the
set motion toward target; the blue solid icon on the 3-D display will move to indicate the set motion toward
target. At the bottom of the Velocity window, the travel time indicators will update to reflect the move time
remaining. All of which is very interesting, but your job as operator is… WATCH THE PIECE!
MULTIPLE TARGET OPERATION - SHORTCUT
It is possible to run multiple winches to multiple targets on a temporary preset move using the following
procedures. Using the 3-D display, select a set by touching the graphic corresponding to the set on the
touchscreen. The set label will change from white to green to indicate that it has been selected. A Vertical
Position window will also appear in the upper left portion of the screen.
The operator can adjust the target for the set by touching and dragging the green slider up or down the
vertical position bar. Fine incremental adjustment of the target position may be done by to or –
adjustment buttons. The blue arrow indicator on the left side of the vertical position bar indicates the current
position of the set. On the 3-D display, the set name will be indicated in bold letters, to indicate that the set is
enabled (target is now different from the current position). The target position for the set will be shown as a
green wire-frame, while the current position will appear as a solid blue icon
If the set is variable speed, a velocity display will appear in the lower left of the screen. The desired velocity
of the move can be adjusted by touching the – or + velocity adjustment buttons. Similarly, the acceleration
and deceleration can be adjusted using the adjustment buttons in those areas.
Once the settings have been completed for the first set, the operator touches the first set on the screen to
unselect it (set label will turn from green to white, to indicated that it is no longer selected, but set label will
remain bold, and wire frame will remain on screen at the designated target position, indicating that the set is
still enabled). Alternatively, the operator may also touch the "Unselect" button at the bottom left of the screen
to make the first set inactive. If you designate a target and want to undo it, select the set then touch the
"Clear Target" icon at the top of the screen.
To designate a target for another set, the operator touches the graphic of the other set (or sets) to select
them, and then designates the target using the procedures outlined above.
Once all targets have been designated, all sets that are enabled (target position different from current
position) may be run. The operator pushes and holds the active GO TARGET button to run the enabled set(s)
to the target(s). If there are variable-speed motors involved in the preset, their speed may be varied using the
joystick, as described in previous section.
During the move, the blue arrow indicators on the left of the Vertical Position display will move to indicate the
motion of the sets toward their targets; the green wire-frames on the 3-D display will move to indicate the
motion of the selected sets toward their targets. If a variable-speed winch is involved in the move, the travel
time indicators in the Velocity window will update to reflect the move time remaining. All of which is very
interesting, but your job as operator is…WATCH THE PIECE!
RELATIVE TARGET OPERATION - SHORTCUT
The following procedure is used to run sets to a relative target. Using the 3-D display, select a set (or sets) by
touching the graphic corresponding to the set on the touchscreen. The set label will change from white to
green to indicate that it has been selected. A position display will also appear in the upper left portion of the
screen.
The operator can set a relative target for the selected sets by touching the Relative Move
button in the Vertical Position window. This will open a keypad with distance units. The
operator keys in the distance that the selected sets must move - a positive number will set the
target above the current position, and a negative number set the target below the current
