Page 25: Entering Math
6.0 Operation 6.11.1 Entering Math In the simple send mode, the Titan 230 is capable of calculating an entire math string such as, 10- 5+5x6+2_3/4. However, the result is limited to 29999.000 and the result cannot be a negative value. In the job mode, and during a send, the result of the calculation must be less than the backgauge limit of 20.000 inches. - Page 26 6.0 Operation 6.12.2.1 False Clamp The false clamp plate is an optional attachment, which reduces the creasing of paper caused by the clamp. The disadvantage of using the false clamp plate is that it limits the smallest cut dimension. The computer must know when the false clamp plate is installed on the machine to prevent the backgauge from crashing into it.
