Press the "Variable" and "Date" softkeys if you want to engrave
the current date.
The data is inserted in the European date format
(<DD>.<MM>.<YYYY>).
To obtain a different date format, you must adapt the format specified
in the text field. For example, to engrave the date in the American date
format (month/day/year => 8/16/04), change the format to
<M>/<D>/<YY> .
Press the "Variable" and "Time" softkeys if you want to engrave
the current time.
The time is inserted in the European format (<TIME24>).
To have the time in the American format, change the format to
<TIME12>.
Example:
Text entry: Time: <TIME24>
Time: <TIME12>
Press the "Variable" and "Workpiece count 000123" softkeys to
engrave a workpiece count with a fixed number of digits and
leading zeroes.
The format text <######,_E_PART[0]> is inserted and you return to
the engraving field with the softkey bar.
Define the number of digits by adjusting the number of place
holders (#) in the engraving field.
If the specified number of digits (e.g. ## ) is not enough to display the
workpiece count, ShopTurn will increase the number digits
automatically.
- OR -
Press the "Variable" and "Workpiece ct. 123" softkeys if you want
to engrave a workpiece count without lead zeroes.
The format text <#,_E_PART[0]> is inserted and you return to the
engraving field with the softkey bar.
If the specified number of digits is not enough to display the workpiece
count (e.g. 123), ShopTurn will increase the number digits
automatically.
You can enter an additive value, for example, if you want to resume
production of workpieces after an interruption. The workpiece count
output is then increased by this value.
