Group #.
Automated batch counters – Each group can maintain its own batch counter, this can be
configured to start at any desired value and be incremented by any set amount. The batch
counter can be included in the batch name which itself can contain additional information.
• Auto Pop. Wizard - When enabled this will automatically populate the Batch Control
screen with the properties entered into that specific Group.
• Auto Pop Name - This is the name of the group that will have it’s properties populate
the Batch Control screen
• Zero Pad Count - This refers to the amount of zeros that will be added to the embed-
ded batch counter. Eg. BATCH -2 -[[GC.000001]]. This has to have the same amount of
digits to accommodate the largest number the counter will reach, which will be the Roll-
over value. If this is not enabled the leading zeros will not be shown.
• Ctr. Start - This refers to the number at which the batch counter will start.
• Ctr. Increment - This is how much the counter will increase or increment by.
• Ctr. Rollover - Enter the number at which you want the counter to reach before it starts
again.
• Show *name* List - (only appears when Auto Pop Wizard is off). Enable this to allow
any additional list item names to appear in a drop down list in the Batch Process
screen. *See below.
• Show *id* List - Enable this to allow any addition list item id’s to appear in a drop down
list in the Batch Process screen. *See below.
• Show *Field 1* List - Enable this to allow any addition list item for Field 1 to appear in a
drop down list in the Batch Process screen. *See below.
• Show *Field 2*List - Enable this to allow any addition list item for Field 2 to appear in a
drop down list in the Batch Process screen. *See below.
• Show *Field 3* List - Enable this to allow any addition list item for Field 3 to appear in a
drop down list in the Batch Process screen. *See below.
*Additional list items are entered in “General Batch Properties” on page 108. Ensure
you have the pens you require assigned to a group, see “Pens Menu” on page 64 When
the Batch Menu set up is complete and you want to start a batch go to “Batch Setup/Batch
Control” on page 142.
At the bottom of the screen is the Ctr. Reset button, this will produce a warning dialog asking
if you want to reset group # counters.
When the configuration is complete select the Finish button to Commit, Discard or Commit
Later. Select the Back button to return to the previous menu.
Batch mode state and count in scripts, see “Maths Variable and Function Tables” on
page 272.
Batch mode state and count in embedded variables, see Table 4.4 on page 92.
Note: batch mode no longer operates on pens that do not belong in a group, so when up-
grading to the new version existing users need to add pens to a group to use the batch func-
tionality.
