Currently, both shelf data and non-equuangular data can be loaded into Rx-Universe by importing frame trace file(s) with this data. These files can be created using software such as the SatisLoh Frame Editor.
Once imported, the shelf data and/or non-equiangular data, as well as the equivalent equiangular data, can be viewed on the "Radii" tab in the frame trace record.
If present, the shelf data can be viewed on the "Shelf" tab:
Devices
The use of either shelf data or non-equiangular requires special handling by devices, and because many devices do not support either, certain rules are implemented within Rx-Universe to handle these.
...
An edger which supports non-equiangular data or shelf data must be explicitly identified on the Edger tab of the device setup for that edger:
If a frame trace which has shelf data or non-equiangular data is requested by an edger that does not support this data, the data will not be sent to the edger. If the edger supports error messaging (STATUS=3), then an appropriate error message will be sent to the edger, otherwise the edger will be sent a status indicating the order cannot be found.
Note that older, non-VCA edgers (such as the Gerber Triumph, Coburn TSM-30 interface, or National Optronics Gateway), because they operate on older interfaces, do not do this check to ensure they support the data in the frame trace, so they would receive equiangular trace data for these traces. The lab will need to ensure that processes are in place to prevent frames with this type of data from being requested on these older edgers.
