Determining Maximum Stitch Bead Length - We determined this value 
using the following general rule: 
•  Duration length (in seconds) x 
0.20-
Max. stitch bead length (in 
seconds) 
In this example, the maximum stitch bead length is 0.158 seconds: 
• 
0.788x 
0.20-0.1576 
seconds (157.6 ms) 
We rounded the value to 0.158 seconds {158 ms). The PC40 stitch 
capability would allow us to specify stitch beads as long as 0.158 
seconds each. 
However, we wanted more and shorter stitch beads for our application. 
We ran 
several test patterns and 
got 
the following results.

Based on the test patterns and our 
application, we specified beads 
0.050 seconds long at 50% coverage. These values were recorded on 
the pattern log (Figure 4.1 0).
