Help Title - “Electronic Controls Window”
The Electronic Controls window is used
to create and edit electronic functions for
ScotWeave harness plans. Modern looms can
control loom functions (e.g. weft selection,
regulator control) using electonic signals
outwith the lifters in the jacquard head.
There are generally 32 or 48 electronic
functions available and these may be set
differently for each pick in the design. This is
like having 32 or 48 additional ends available
for loom functions on every pick.
Each available control is represented by a
circle marker in the electronic controls
window and a system of colour coding is used
to show how these controls are assigned.
Icons in the icon toolbox to the right of the
screen are used to select a marker type and
these icons also act as a key to the colour
coding system.
To assign a function to a marker, select the
marker type that you wish to use by clicking
on an icon in the icon toolbox. The selected
colour will be shown in the status bar.
Now move the cursor into the electronic
control and on top of the circle that you wish
to change. Click the LEFT mouse button and
that circle will change to the selected colour.

Different weaving looms have different default
electronic control functions. Use the menu
option Controls - Default controls to
create the standard, default setup for your
loom.
Many of the control functions use binary
coding to allow a small number of controls
signals to operate on a larger control options
Selector Control Number
Weft Number 1 2 3 4
1 n
2 n
3 n n
4 n
5 n n
6 n n
7 n n n
8 n
The above example uses 4 weft selector
controls to select up to 8 weft colours by using
more than one control signal at the same time
(e.g. to select weft number 5 both selector
number 1 and 3 would be “on”).
You can setup weft selectors by using the menu
option Controls - Electronic weft selectors.
