XC-3 with Gauge Control using G2's Yield Screen
Gauge control allows G2 to control the individual layers by volume and by percent using the
layer's specific gravity to calculate each layers gauge.
G2 Setup for Gauge Control
To enable Gauge Control in the G2 Client, go to
Main/Setup then the System Tab. Click the Checkbox
labeled Enable Gauge Control. Click Add/Update to
save the change in Setup.
Enabling Gauge Control will make several new fields
visible in the Yield Screen. With each Layer's
information box, the field Specific Gravity will be
displayed. The Specific Gravity can be manually
entered here in the Yield Screen.
Also a calculated yield box will display in the upper-right
of the Yield Screen.
All fields must be set before the layers can be locked.
To enter a specific gravity manually, click the Specific
Gravity field then enter the Specific Gravity for that
layer. Then click OK. Repeat this step for each layer.
Alternately the specific gravity can be automatically
calculated and displayed in this field based on the recipe
downloaded to the controller. This feature is useful if
your recipes contain more than one material. To have
the Specific Gravity automatically calculated and
displayed, the following steps are required.
In the Line Edit screen, select your line, then click the
checkbox Automatically Calculate Specific Gravity
then click Add/Update to save the change to your line.
Recipes are generally made up of one or more
materials. All materials in a recipe must have a specific
gravity entered for automatic calculation to occur.
Within the recipe, the settings entered for multiple
materials are used to calculate the Specific Gravity of
the recipe. Specific gravity for each material is entered
in the Material Edit Screen. Enter the specific gravity of
