242 Terminology Chapter 12 QS04R 3. Terminology The following terms apply to all common models. There might be a case where it does not correspond depending on the mode Data set To input design data to the memory of the machine to start the machine. D-axis Driving shaft to rotate sewing needle or nipple (TCMX series). DGF File that indicates design image. It is necessary to handle TBF, CT0 and DGF as a set on a personal computer. Driver Control card to make the frame or main shaft drive. X-axis driver, Y-axis driver, main shaft driver etc. are included. DST Stitch data of Tajima ternary format. Data saving format is T. Excitation To keep frame motor drive. It is not possible to move the frame by hand during excitation. Fine stitch Short stitch such as it causes thread breakage. Stitch of which stitch length is 0.5 mm or less. Fixed pitch movement Horizontal frame travel to the neighboring head by head interval. Fixed position Angle of the main shaft at which the main shaft motor stops (stop position). Frame Back To move the embroidery frame only to the returning direction of stitches with the needle bar(s) stopped. Absolute origin An anchoring point to calculate the current frame position (X: 0.0, Y:0.0). ATH Abbreviation of Automatic Thread Trimming and Holding Device. Auto Jump To make a stitch divided into stitches of the setting value or less automatically when its stitch length exceeds the setting value. It is effective to prevent the stepping out of the frame and the displacement of the design. Backlash A play (gap) generated by shock at drive system and/ or around the frame when a stitch returns (when frame drive is reversed). It may affect finish of sewing. Cleanup To remove a fine stitch included in design data to make before and after stitches absorb it. It is effective to reduce thread breakage. Condition data Operating condition of the machine included in the design data. (Needle bar selection, data conversion, repeat, start position, automatic offset) CT0 File including information of needle bar selection and start position. It is necessary to handle TBF, CT0 and DGF as a set on a personal computer. Data mode Saving format of design data (T, T2, T3).
