Action if failure	Description
End all	All channels will end the tightening and report status NOK. The tightening that did not have an error itself will report additional info Terminated by other bolt.

Action if NOK during repair	Specifies the action if a new error (NOK) is detected while a repair is ongoing.

Triggers

To view the Sync point table a tightening program with sync points must be selected for at least one bolt in Bolt configuration.

For each synchronization point in the main path of the programs it is possible to specify different triggers to control the reject management.

Add trigger

Click on the + icon next to Add trigger.
Select trigger.
Set action for each sync point.

Delete trigger

Default trigger parameters	Description
Sync point	Sync point in the selected tightening program.
Default failing	Specifies the main action if an error is detected. Is used if none of the other conditions are fulfilled.
Default failing other	This parameter defines the action on the tools not running End or Terminate

Number of repairs parameters	Description
Repairs	Specifies the maximum number of repairs that can be started from the synchronization point and if not set, an unlimited number of repairs can be made
Repair action	Specifies the action if Maximum number of repairs have been made and a new error occurs
Repair action other	This parameter defines the action on the tools not running End or Terminate

NOK channels parameters	Description
NOK channels	Specifies the maximum number of channels that can fail in the synchronization point. If not set the number of failing channels settings will never be used to decide the action.
NOK channel action	Specifies the action if more than NOK channels have failed in the synchronization point.
NOK channel other	This parameter defines the action on the tools not running End NOK or Terminate NOK.

NOK groups parameters	Description
NOK groups	Specifies the maximum number of groups that can fail in the synchronization point. If not set the number of failing groups settings will never be used to decide the action.
NOK group action	Specifies the action if more than NOK groups have failed in the synchronization point.

Check box	Used when, for example, deleting a channel.
Channel	Number of the channel, also named drive index.
