There may be more than one track station reported on the same line of the report. The trays in the stations reports on the same Status Code line will be added together.

Example:

 If there are two stations with different descriptions and they are to be reported using the same description, the entries would look as follows. In our example below, station 1049 Drilling and 1018 Finishing Room will both be reported as Finishing.

Info

 *** Be sure the same Station Descriptions are using the same Status Codes. Every sub- master station number using the Station Description of "IN PROCESS" should be reported as the same Status Code (7 in the example above).  If you have two identical Station Descriptions in different Status Codes you will have two lines on the report with identical Station Descriptions and nothing to identify which track stations are being reported in each line. ***

Viewing the Report

Once your mapping is set up, you simply need to choose to view the screen from the menu.

From the Optifacts main menu:

Type 7

)  Tray Track

16)  Dynamic Work In Process Screen

Enter

–Tray Track and press enter.

Type 16 – Dynamic Work in Process and press enter.

  • Enter the Number of Minutes for Screen
Refresh   
  • Refresh 30
      Enter the number of minutes between times we refresh the screen. 
        • It is recommended that the time interval (in minutes) be fairly long as opposed to a short interval. When the report is selection information for the report many system resources are being used. We don't
        • recommend small increments of time like 5 minutes because this will cause
        • the system to do the select statements every 5 minutes and this will use
      upsystem
        • up system resources at that time.
       
        • This could slow down other processes every 5
        • minutes.

      You can touch the Delete key to exit the screen at any time.
