# Batch Sequence Configuration Menu

The options in the Properties menu are as follows:

Parameter name | Description
--- | ---
Name | Default name Batch sequence. This can be edited.
Description | The optional description issued for the batch sequence.
Lock tool on batch sequence complete | On: The tool is locked when the batch sequence is completed. Off: The tool remains unlocked when the batch sequence is completed.
Free order | No: The batches within the sequence are executed in the order listed by the index number. If sockets have been specified, the system will prompt for the next socket when the batch is to be performed. Yes: The tightenings and the batches within the sequence can be executed in any order. The operator must indicate to the system which batch is to be executed by using the Socket selector bits, these act as identifier numbers.
Increment on NOK | No: The batch counter is not incremented if the tightening fails (NOK). Yes: The batch counter is incremented if the tightening fails (NOK).
Max consecutive NOK | Max consecutive NOK is defined as the maximum allowed number of consecutive failed tightenings in a batch. If the value is reached, the event Too many NOK tightenings (4020) is displayed.
Decrement on loosening | Never: The batch counter is not decremented when a loosening is performed. This is the default value. Always: The batch counter is decremented when a loosening is performed. When last tightening OK: If the preceding tightening was OK, the batch counter is decremented when a loosening is performed.
Sequence abort time | On: The selected batch sequence will be aborted within a specified time limit. When you select On, the Abort time field opens. Off: The selected batch sequence cannot be aborted.
Abort time | The number of seconds during which the selected batch sequence will be aborted. Allowed range is between 1 s to 1600 s.

A batch sequence is completed (and the tool may be locked) when either:

- All tightenings have been completed with an OK or NOK result.

- The Abort sequence signal terminates the task. Unperformed tightenings are reported with NOK result.

In the Sequence configuration menu, the different batches are combined into a batch sequence. A batch consists of one single tightening program that is repeated a number of times.

Each row in the Sequence configuration menu represents one single batch.
