5.4.4.2.9. Machine Zones
The Time (X) scale can be divided into zones that represent the machine zones in a
process defined in units of length or time. Zones can be specified editing or creating a
new machine model. Refer to topic Software>Menus>Machine>Set Machine
Information or Create new Machine for more information.
To display defined zones along the Time (X) scale, select the Show on Profile
command on the Machine menu. When zones are displayed, they appear as Magenta
and Blue colored lines along the bottom of the data graph and as dotted vertical lines
that extend top to bottom. The Magenta zones indicate heating and Blue zones indicate
cooling. The first zone begins at the Process Origin. When the Process Origin is moved,
the zones move with it.
When importing SMG SPC (.MDM) files, the machine zones remain the same
zone colors as specified in the original (.MDM) file. If the user edits the
imported machine zones, or applies a defined machine to the data run the zone
colors will be updated Magenta and Blue.
