Machine Manager automatically collects machine data for machines that support serial line feedback. This data provides summary statistics (collected from each machine) for a given period. You can display it on screen or export it to Excel, Access or text files for further analysis, or export it to the optional Reporting Utility for complete analysis of all available data. Summary statistics for each machine include:
3Total number of stitches
3Total number of stops
3Total number of thread breaks
3Total minutes stopped
3Total minutes operated.
Caution: Once design stitching is finished, you need to wait two minutes before submitting statistics data. Before that, the information submitted may be wrong. This is because the operation of the Statistics database consumes system resources, causing a bottleneck in the system. To avoid this, it is delayed by two minutes.
