## Properties

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Name | A user-defined name for the multistep program.
Description | Description of the multistep program.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Type | Tightening or loosening.
Thread direction | Clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW) rotational direction.
Loosening program | Select an existing loosening program to connect to the tightening program.
Program Start | The multistep tightening program starts when the torque passes the trigger torque value (Nm) for the first time, in order to avoid starting the program by accident.
Program End Torque | Gives the torque value that stops a multistep tightening. The signal 168 - Program End is true when, after a multistep tightening Program End Torque has reached, and Program End Timeout has elapsed. Default value for Program End Torque is Tool max torque * 0.03.
Program End Timeout | Gives the time value (in seconds) that stops a multistep tightening. The signal 168 - Program End is true when, after a multistep tightening Program End Torque has reached, and Program End Timeout has elapsed. Default value for Program End Timeout is 0 seconds.
True Angle Compensation | Certain tools can detect and measure the tool rotation during tightening. If the tool is rotated during tightening, the angle measurement may be corrupted. This may lead to a faulty tightening if the tool movement is too great. For variations within specified limits, the controller can compensate these rotations and make a correct tightening. This is an additional Licensed Feature, available per Virtual Station.

## Trace Configuration

The trace configuration can be done on program level or for each step. The default configuration is set on the program level and can be overridden in each step as needed.

Here, enabling this function allows the configuration to be done on program level.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Enabled | On: Enables the trace resolution configuration on program level. Off: The trace recording is done with the same resolution for the whole tightening. In this case, the trace points are evenly distributed in time over the whole tightening. For each time slot (0.25 ms) two values (the minimum and the maximum measured value) are displayed in the trace. The maximum number of samples in this format is 2000.
Sample Type | Sample Time: specifies how often samples should be stored in the trace by specifying a sample time in ms. Sample Angle: specifies how often samples should be stored in the trace by specifying a sample in deg.
Sample Time | Choose the sample time from the drop-down list (0.25 - 1000 ms)
Sample Angle | Choose the sample angle from the drop-down list (0.25 - 20 degree)

## Program Restrictions

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Maximum Time Limit | Set amount in seconds. This restriction checks the total time for the tightening and if it exceeds the Time High limit the tool is stopped immediately. The time is measured from the start of the program.
Maximum Torque Limit | This restriction checks the torque and if the measured torque exceeds the Torque High limit the tool is stopped immediately.

Angle
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Enabled | Turn angle restriction On or Off for the entire program. This restriction checks that the angle is within the specified angle limits.
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this restriction is valid for: If no start step is specified, this restriction will start at program start. If no end step is specified, this restriction will stop at the last step of the program.
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque at which the this restriction shall start.
High limit | Sets angle restriction (program) higher limit.

Time
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Enabled | Turn time restriction On or Off for the entire program. This restriction checks that the time is within the specified time limits.
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this restriction is valid for: If no start step is specified, this restriction will start at program start. If no end step is specified, this restriction will stop at the last step of the program.
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque at which this restriction shall start.
High limit | Sets time restriction (program) higher limit.

## Program Monitors

Angle
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Enabled | Turn angle monitoring On or Off for the entire program. This monitor checks that the angle is within the specified limits.
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this monitor is valid for: If no start step is specified, this monitor will start at program start. If no end step is specified, this monitor will stop at the last step of the program.
Type | Type of angle monitoring: Peak Angle: the highest angle reached during the monitor. Angle at Peak Torque: the angle at the point where the highest torque was reached during the monitor. Shut Off Angle: the angle at the shut-off point of the step. Angle at End: the angle at the end of the monitor, including the brake, if active.
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque at which this monitor shall start.
Low limit | Sets angle monitoring (program) lower limit.
High limit | Sets angle monitoring (program) higher limit.

Torque
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Enabled | Turn Torque monitoring On or Off for the entire program. This monitor checks that the torque is within the specified limits.
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this monitor is valid for: If no start step is specified, this monitor will start at program start. If no end step is specified, this monitor will stop at the last step of the program.
Type | Type of angle monitoring: Peak Torque: the highest torque reached during the monitor. Shut Off Torque: the torque at the shut-off point of the step.
Low limit | Sets torque monitoring (program) lower limit.
High limit | Sets torque monitoring (program) higher limit.

Time
Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Enabled | Turn time monitoring On or Off for the entire program. This monitor checks that the time is within the specified limits.
Active in steps | Sets a range of steps this monitor is valid for: If no start step is specified, this monitor will start at program start. If no end step is specified, this monitor will stop at the last step of the program.
Trigger torque | Sets the value of the trigger torque at which this monitor shall start.
Low limit | Sets time monitoring (program) lower limit.
High limit | Sets time monitoring (program) higher limit.

## Validation

During the configuration of tightening programs, the entered values are compared with the tool capability values to prevent parameters being outside the selected limits. User-defined maximum values are useful if many different tools are being used.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Validate against tool values | Use On to set Max Torque and Max Speed manually, or select a specific tool in order to validate against the selected tool's values. When a specific tool is selected, the steps and monitors not supported by the specific tool are indicated by a yellow triangle.
Max Torque | The maximum limit used in the validation. This is expressed in a numeric torque value.
Max speed | The maximum limit used in the validation. This is expressed in a numeric rpm value.

## Attachment Tuning

Attachment tuning gives the possibility to compensate for front attachments on the tool. The compensation can be made for each tightening program.

An operator can hot swap attachments and then select a tightening program tuned for that specific attachment.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Use Attachment Tuning | Yes or No
Gear Ratio | The Attachment gear ratio is needed to compensate the angle. Minimum: 0.5 Maximum: 100 Socket rotation speed = Tool speed / gear ratio
Efficiency Tuning | Attachment gear ratio combined with the Efficiency tuning is needed to compensate the torque. Minimum: 0.5 Maximum: 1.0 For example 0.9 means 10% efficiency loss.

## Reporters

This enables the user to choose which values (from monitors/restrictions) shall be shown as final values. Click Add to choose a result reporter to be tied to a program monitor/restriction value.

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Reporter | Select a result reporter.
Producer | Select which monitor/restriction produces the value.
Value | Select which value to show from the selected producer.
