Several job files can be open at the same time and managed in the same window. Each job file is opened in a new job tab to the right of any existing tab(s). The job tabs are located under the toolbar and look like this:

You can switch to any open job by clicking on its tab. Job tabs can be dragged around to change the order or dragged out into a separate pane to display two files side by side.

Notes:When the saw is not running, all jobs can be reordered to any order required. When the saw is running, only jobs to the right of the current running job can be reordered as they have not been run yet.If a Packfeeder 2 is running, only jobs to the right of the next pending job can be reordered as the picklist has already been sent for the current job and the next one.When a cutting sequence is running, the current job tab is displayed with a green background. If automatic Job Sequencing is enabled, the next job tab will be displayed with a yellow background.You can also switch to any open file by selecting the file you wish to view from the Window drop-down menu.

Every user can have their own user account when operating the saw. This makes it possible to provide different levels of system access to personnel and enables the plant manager to review productivity levels of staff. For more details, see User Management.

Note: A user must be logged in to start cutting. The name of the currently logged in user is displayed in the message bar located at the bottom centre of the main window and highlighted in red below.

To log into Simple, do the following:

1. Click on the toolbar.

2. The following window pops up:

   Select your user name from the drop-down list. Note: For more details on how to edit the user list, see Add/Edit a user and Remove a user.

   Notes:The Password field is greyed out if the access level of the selected user is below the password level set in the User Management window.The password of any user can be changed by anyone with a supervisor or engineer access level in the Edit User window.Once logged-in, each user can change their own password in the Change Password window.

4. Click .

To log out of Simple, do one of the following:

• Click on the toolbar.
• Select Logout from the File drop-down menu.
• Click on the toolbar to let another user log in.

You can sort the members by clicking any column header:

• Click a column header to sort the members in ascending order based on that column.
• Click the same column header again to sort the members in descending order.

Note: this can be used to easily find members.

The operator will consistently be required to select single members or blocks of members before performing certain tasks or functions.

To select a single member, simply left-click on the desired member. This will highlight the line in blue.

To select multiple members, do the following:

1. Left-click on any member you wish to select.
2. Hold down the Control key and left-click on any other members you wish to select.

To select a block of members, do the following:

1. Left-click on the first member of the block you wish to select.
2. Hold down the  ⇧  key and left-click on the last member of the block. Both clicked members and all the members in between will be selected. The entire block will be highlighted in blue.

To select multiple blocks of members, do the following:

1. Select the first block as per the above procedure.
2. Hold down the Control key and left-click on the first member of the next block you wish to select.
3. Hold down the Control and  ⇧  keys together and left-click on the last member of that block.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for any other blocks you wish to select.

To exclude a member from any selection, hold down the Control key and left-click on the member you wish to exclude.

Note: if a single member is selected, it will remain selected when switching to another tab (if present in the other tab).

To optimise all members of a job, simply click on the toolbar. This runs the optimisation of all members in the Member List tab of the active job.

Note: if there are already some partially or completely cut members (indicated by a quantity greater than "0" in the Done column), a dialog box will pop up. Choose whether you want to optimise all the members or only the uncut members.

If you only wish to optimise specific members, sort and select members as required in the Member List tab. Once the desired members are found and selected, simply click on the toolbar. This runs the optimisation of the members that have been selected (highlighted in blue) in the active job.

Note: if there are already some partially or completely cut members (indicated by a quantity greater than "0" in the Done column), a dialog box will pop up. Choose whether you want to optimise all the selected members or only the selected uncut members.

The Materials List window shows all the materials required to cut the members based on the current optimisation. The window includes two separate lists labelled Quantity Summary and Loading Order. Basic metrics about the current optimisation are displayed at the right of the window (for more details about those metrics, see Results file).

To open the Materials List window, do one of the following in Simple once a file is open:

• Click on the toolbar.
• Select Materials List from the View drop-down menu.

Quantity Summary

The Quantity Summary list gives the dimensions and amount of each type of timber that is required. This list is used by the pickers when collecting the timbers from the yard.

Note: the Bin column indicates in which bunk the timber is located if an automated timber retrieval system is installed.

Loading Order

The Loading Order list gives the exact order in which the timbers should be loaded into the saw.

This list may also show a "2xW" or "2xH" in the right-most column to indicate that certain pieces of timber are cut in a stacked formation. "2xW" means that two pieces of timber are stacked side by side (horizontally). "2xH" means that two pieces of timber are stacked one on top of the other (vertically). In either case, the real amount of timbers needed is indicated in parentheses next to the primary quantity.

Note: Two consecutive lines of the same colour (white or purple) indicate a stack of timbers with two different thicknesses or grades. The second line indicates the timber that is either at the top of a vertical stack, or away from the fenceline in the case of a horizontal stack. The left-most column gives the position of the timber in the stack as follows: TOP, BOT (bottom), F (against the fenceline) or NF (away from the fenceline).

EXAMPLE 

The above list gives the following loading order:three consecutive horizontal stacks (six identical timbers in total)two consecutive vertical stacks with one 35-mm-thick timber at the bottom and one 45-mm-thick timber at the top (four timbers in total)one vertical stack with a 45-mm-thick timber at the bottom and a 35-mm-thick timber at the topone horizontal stack with an "H1.2" timber against the fenceline and an "H3.1" timber away from the fenceline

• Vekta personnel will demonstrate correct timber loading and stacking during the training phase of the install.
• Ensure the bow of the timber is such that the centre of the board is bowed towards the saw.
• On the side transfer legs, space the timbers 100 to 150 mm (about a fist width) apart and align them to the fenceline. Reflective tape is installed to aid in keeping the timbers straight.

The cut command buttons (highlighted in red below) are located in the toolbar at the top of the Simple window.

	Cut All Uncut: commands the saw to cut all uncut members in the active tab (Member List or Optimised). Click this button and then press the green START button on the operator console to start cutting. As cutting progresses down the list, the saw will skip over any members that have already been cut. Note: Already cut members are indicated by a quantity greater than "0" in the Done column of the Member List tab, or tagged with an asterisk in the left-most column of the Optimised tab. If a cutting sequence is launched from the Optimised tab, the cut members will be updated in both tabs. If a cutting sequence is launched from the Member List tab, the cut members will be updated in this tab only.
	Cut Selected Uncut: commands the saw to cut the uncut members that have been selected in the active tab (Member List or Optimised), or any member selected in the Member Tree tab. Select the members you wish to cut, then click this button and press the green START button on the operator console to start cutting. Note: in the Optimised tab, all members in the same stick must be selected for this function to work properly (i.e. the first selected member must be a stock material line and all members included in that material must be selected).
	Cut Remaining Uncut: commands the saw to cut the uncut members from the member selected in the active tab (Member List or Optimised). Select the member you wish to start from, then click this button and press the green START button on the operator console to start cutting. The saw will work its way down the list from this point. Note: in the Optimised tab, the selected member must be the only one or the first one in a stick for this function to work properly (i.e. it must be a stock material line).

EXAMPLE 

In the Optimised tab, a stock material line has an entry in the Material column, like the one highlighted in blue in the image below.

The Set To Uncut functions (highlighted in red below) are located in the toolbar at the top of the Simple window.

Note: To set members to uncut for reprocessing, stop the saw before using these functions. Otherwise they will remain greyed out.

	Set All To Uncut: sets to uncut status all members in the active tab (Member List or Optimised).
	Set Selected To Uncut: sets to uncut status the members that have been selected in the active tab (Member List or Optimised).
	Set Selected To Cut: sets to cut status the members that have been selected in the active tab (Member List or Optimised).

The automatic feed rate override sliders (highlighted in red below) are located in the control bar at the bottom centre of the Simple window.

These sliders will dynamically change the speed of the saw's feed rates while cutting and can be changed at any time:

• Cutting Speed: alters the speed of the cutting action while in a cut (i.e. the speed at which the blade is moved through the timber, not the actual speed of the blade itself).
• Moving Speed: alters the speed of the timber when moving through the saw from one cut position to another.

When the saw is operating in automatic mode, there are various ways the operator can pause, stop and restart the saw.

• Pausing the saw
  • Momentarily pressing the red STOP button on the operator console will pause the entire system at that exact point, including infeed and outfeed, and leave the saw blade running. Pressing the green START button on the operator console will continue operation.
  • Pressing the AIT toggle button on the toolbar to disable the AIT will stop feeding timber into the saw but will not stop the current stick being cut. When finished cutting the current stick, the saw will stay running until the AIT is re‑enabled. This will effectively pause the saw after the current stick finished cutting.
• Stopping the saw
  • Holding down the red STOP button on the operator console for three seconds will stop the saw completely, deactivate the blade, release any timber that may still be clamped and exit the current cutting sequence. To restart the saw, you will need to use one of the Cut functions on the toolbar and then press the green START button on the operator console.

  • Pressing the E‑stop button on the operator console will immediately stop all moving parts of the saw and remove power from them. You will need to release the E‑stop button and rehome the saw to recover. However this will not exit the current cutting sequence, so you will need to press on the toolbar or hold down the red STOP button on the operator console for three seconds.

    Note: the E‑stop button should only be pressed in either an emergency or when access to the saw chamber is required.

Operators may recut members in either of the Member List and Optimised tabs.

Note: already cut members are indicated by a quantity greater than "0" in the Done column of the Member List tab, or tagged with an asterisk in the left-most column of the Optimised tab.

Member list

Note: When cutting from the Member List tab, the saw will only cut one member out of one piece of timber. After cutting the member, the remaining timber will be ejected out to the outfeed side unless the "Send waste to the infeed" feature is enabled. If enabled, the waste will be ejected back to the infeed side and used for the next member in the list.

1. Select the member(s) that need to be recut.
2. Press on the toolbar, or right-click on the selection and select Set Selected To Uncut from the context menu to clear any memory of the members that are already cut.

3. If you want to recut a certain amount from a member with multiple pieces, select that member only, right-click on it and select Set Quantity Cut from the context menu, then change the value to the total minus the amount you wish to recut.

   EXAMPLE 

   If the Total amount is 6 and you want to recut 2 pieces, then set the quantity cut to 6 – 2 = 4. This value will be entered in the Done column.

   Note: after this step, you will have to reselect all the members you wish to recut.

4. Load the correct materials for the member(s) that need to be recut. Make sure these are sufficient length to cut the desired member(s).
5. Press on the toolbar, or right-click on the selection and select Cut Selected Uncut from the context menu.
6. Press the green START button on the operator console to start cutting.

Optimised list

1. Select all the members in the listed stock length(s) that need to be recut.
2. Press on the toolbar to clear any memory of the members that are already cut.
3. Press on the toolbar.
4. Load the correct materials for the member(s) that need to be recut. The optimised list will let you know exactly what you need to load.
5. Press the green START button on the operator console to start cutting.

The Optimise On-the-fly Selected function (highlighted in red below) is located in the toolbar at the top of the Simple window.

Optimise On-the-fly Selected: commands the saw to cut the members that have been selected in the Member List tab out of unknown lengths of timber that can be randomly fed into the saw. This function is great for consuming long and varying length offcuts. Select the members you wish to cut, then click this button and press the green START button on the operator console to start cutting. The saw will dynamically measure each new length of timber that is fed, run an optimisation process on the members remaining to be cut for that length (much like normal optimisation) and proceed to cut all the members it can out of that board with the least waste possible. Notes:All the selected members must have the same width and thickness for this function to operate. Same timber grade is also recommended.If there are already some partially or completely cut members (indicated by a quantity greater than "0" in the Done column), a dialog box will pop up. Choose whether you want to optimise on-the-fly all the selected members or only the selected uncut members.The operator will be prompted to enter the number of the bunk to pick the timbers from with the WoodRunner (if installed).If no members can be cut from the current measured stick, Simple will display a warning, eject the stick and continue to cut.

When the Member List tab is active, some parameters of the currently selected member can be edited directly on the Member Diagram.

Note: The editable parameters can be easily identified on the member diagram by boxes drawn around them (see image below). If they are not already present, check Draw editing boxes in the member list view in the General tab of the Options window.

1. Make sure you are in the Member List tab.
2. Select the member you wish to edit in the list.
3. Double-click the parameter you wish to modify on the member diagram.
4. Change the value in the pop-up box and click OK to confirm.

Note: Any change will take effect immediately in the Member List and Member Tree tabs. However, the Optimised tab will only be updated at the next optimisation.

The toolbar toggle buttons (highlighted in red below) are located in the toolbar at the top of the Simple window.

Note: if a function is not available on your machine (e.g. follower), the corresponding toggle button will not be displayed.

(optional)	Indicates that the follower is currently disabled. Click to enable the follower.	(optional)	Indicates that the follower is currently enabled. Click to disable the follower.
	Note: After turning the follower on or off, you need to wait for the status display window to disappear then rehome the saw.
	Indicates that the Long Lead feature is currently disabled. Click to enable the Long Lead feature.		Indicates that the Long Lead feature is currently enabled. Click to disable the Long Lead feature.
	Note: The Long Lead feature moves all cuts 100 mm (default value of variable P521) along the timber. This can be useful when cutting a member from a piece of waste timber with a non‑square leading end.
(optional)	Indicates that the Automatic Infeed Table is currently disabled. Click to enable the Automatic Infeed Table.	(optional)	Indicates that the Automatic Infeed Table is currently enabled. Click to disable the Automatic Infeed Table.
	Indicates that long pieces of waste (after all members in the stick are cut) are currently sent to the outfeed. Click to send long pieces of waste back out to the infeed.

	Indicates that the automatic Job Sequencing feature is currently disabled. Click to enable the automatic Job Sequencing feature.		Indicates that the automatic Job Sequencing feature is currently enabled. Click to disable the automatic Job Sequencing feature.
	Note: The Job Sequencing feature enables the saw to automatically start cutting the optimised list in the job file tab to the right of the current job file, when and only when the last member in the optimised list of the current job file has been cut. With this feature enabled, the current job file tab will be coloured in green and the job file tab to be cut next will be coloured in yellow. When the current job file is finished, a pop-up will notify the operator the new job file has started and the colour of the tabs will also change automatically. The order of the non-active job file tabs (yellow or grey) can be changed at any time during cutting by clicking and dragging ahead or behind other tabs. The inactive job files can even be re-optimised while cutting the active one. This feature will only work if the cutting sequence has been started in the first optimised list by using either the Cut All Uncut or Cut Remaining Uncut function.
(optional)	Indicates that the Stak-n-Gap is currently disabled. Click to enable the Stak-n-Gap.	(optional)	Indicates that the Stak-n-Gap is currently enabled. Click to disable the Stak-n-Gap.
	Note: to open the Stak-n-Gap interface, select Stak-n-Gap... from the Tools drop-down menu in the Simple menu bar.

The saw loading options (highlighted in red below) are located in the control bar at the bottom left of the Simple window. They are active when there is a tick in their respective checkbox.

Note: these options are overrides and will not change the quantities cut of the selected members (i.e. if there are two of the same members to cut, enabling 2* Thick will only count as cutting one member).

• 2* Thick: indicates to the saw that two pieces of timber are stacked one on top of the other.
• 2* Wide: indicates to the saw that two pieces of timber are stacked side by side.

• Rotate: indicates to the saw that the stick is rotated 90° from the position initially set in the file (flat or on its edge).

  Note: this may be useful when the saw is not able to perform a cut in the initially set position.

The monitoring panel (highlighted in red below) is located in the control bar at the bottom right of the Simple window. It gives basic information about the status of the saw feeders and axes, the feeder sensors and clamp rollers, and the saw blade.

Note: the colour of the indicator light gives the current status as follows:
Normal operation (ready and active)
Not homed or on software limits
Presence of a fault (Amp Fault or Urgent FE error)

	Gives the current position and status of the left feeder.
	Gives the current position and status of the Y‑axis.
	Gives the current position and status of the Z‑axis.
	Gives the current position and status of the B‑axis.
	Gives the current position and status of the C‑axis.
	Gives the current position and status of the right feeder.

	Indicates that the corresponding top clamp roller is in the idle position (away from the timber).		Indicates that the corresponding top clamp roller is in the actuated position (clamped against the timber).
	Indicates that the corresponding feeder sensor is obstructed (timber is detected).		Indicates that the corresponding feeder sensor is clear (timber is not detected).
	Indicates that the corresponding side clamp roller is in the idle position (away from the timber).		Indicates that the corresponding side clamp roller is in the actuated position (clamped against the timber).
	Indicates that the saw blade is off.		Indicates that the saw blade is on.

Regular Clean

1. Home the saw to ensure the printer is in the full up position.
2. Fold a piece of paper towel to a small square, soak with water and squeeze slightly to stop dripping.
3. Wipe each protruding print head with the wet paper towel and ensure there is a new and strong double black line on the paper towel from the print head each time.

Thorough Clean (if issue remains with particular print heads)

1. Lift the printer cover.
2. Make sure the status of both print modules reads "Case open" in the plate marking control panel.
3. Open the retention latch for all print heads, not forgetting the side print heads.

4. Remove each print head one by one, and clean by dabbing and wiping firmly with a damp lint free cloth. You should get two solid lines of ink.

   CAUTIONDo not shake the print heads at any point or this can permanently damage them.

5. Make sure no ink or grime is on the electrical contacts behind the print heads. Wipe clean with a dry lint free cloth if required.

6. Refit each print head and close the retention latches fully.

   Note: If you have trouble closing a retention latch, re‑seat the print head to make sure it is inserted correctly.

7. Close the printer cover.

Diagnostics window

The Diagnostics window gives detailed information about the current status of the machine and any errors that may be present.

Most errors will automatically force this window to pop up. Otherwise it can be accessed by clicking on the Control Bar.

If an error is present, the corresponding status box in the top matrix will show in red or yellow. The lower matrix represents each axis motor status indicated with the axis name on the horizontal title bar and the status name on the vertical title bar.

A red box indicates a fault condition.

The saw is completely stopped. Attention is required before resuming operation.

A yellow box indicates a warning condition.

The operation is suspended. In most cases, operation can be resumed by pressing the green START button on the operator console.

For a quick description of the error, hover over the box to display a tooltip. Click the box to show a pop-up with further information about the error.

Note: all other information is not used or obsolete.

Error notification system

The error notification system removes the need to look for error information in the Diagnostics window and provides a much better and simpler interface for errors with much more useful operator information. The Diagnostics window can still be used for specific machine or motor status information.

If one or more errors are present, you will know it by a flashing alert icon in the control bar at the bottom right of the Simple window. Critical errors and errors that require immediate operator action will force the Error Notification window to pop up. To show information about other errors or to reopen the window, you can click the flashing icon at any time.

This window gives a description of the error. If there are multiple errors pending, you can switch between them by clicking the tabs at the top of the window. The "What to do now" section has instructions for immediate action to continue cutting. The "What to do next" section contains instructions to fault-find the issue if it will not clear. Some errors can simply be dismissed by clicking .

Vekta Rescue is the online help system designed to provide all the information the operator needs to use and maintain the Razer saw, and diagnose basic issues. You can access the homepage by clicking the question mark button on the toolbar at the top right of the Simple window. This will open a webpage that the operator can navigate around to find the required information. A question mark icon is also present in most windows of Simple. Clicking it will bring up a context pop-up with information specific to that window.

1. Hold down the STOP button on the operator console for three seconds.
2. Save any open files and close Simple.
