activate the "scanner selectable" so the set-up menu point
"Scanner" can be selected. If you also activate "Manual
mode selectable", the set-up menu points "M" and "Scanner
M" will be released. So you can select different programs per
display, the check mark next to "Manual mode active" must
also be selected.
In the "Scanner M" menu point, select the scan mode for scanning barcodes
for program selection. Scan the barcodes for the screwing job as in regular
mode. Then, you will receive the release for the corresponding program
with the number of screws.
The screwing results are not transmitted to the process controls for central
storage. You can, however, read out the screwing process results with the
Tool-Manager software and save them as le.
Go forward with the menu button until the "Scanning M" logo appears. The
tool have to be programmed accordingly with the HST-Tool-Manager.
