Command: Weave/Loom Setup/Begin with Row < WLB >
Purpose: SETTING--maintains record of next row to weave
Information:
You can reset your starting row with this option.
You can also select which row to begin with simply by moving
the pointer with the arrow keys and/or scrolling the CAW
window.
Comments:
The last row woven is stored in the weaving file. By
resaving your weaving after each weaving session, this value
can be updated.

Command: Weave/Loom Setup/Direction < WLD >
Purpose: SETTING--Control current "Gear" of CAWeaving
Information:
Three gears are available: Forward, Reverse, and Neutral.
As you might think, Forward causes the pointer to advance
after weaving each row; Reverse moves the pointer backwards;
and Neutral leaves the pointer stationary.
Comments:
The Direction is controlled during CAWeaving by the CAW
device Gear switch.
During Simulation, the Gear switch is the keyboard Shift
Key.

Command: Weave/Loom Setup/Simulation < WLS >
Purpose: SWITCH--Select Simulation or CAW weaving
Information:
WARNING: Leave Simulation ON UNLESS you have a CAW
interface attached. In this mode, the space bar or mouse
button "weave" the row, and the Shift key is the direction
Gear switch. As each row is weave simulated by pressing the
space bar, the computer makes a sound pattern determined by
the harness combinations for the row.
Turning Simulation OFF activates the CAW interface. Control
of the CAW pointer's Lift and Shift functions must come from
the CAW device. Weft rows to weave can be selected with the
keyboard arrows. In this state, Patternland MUST interact
correctly with the loom interface or the program will get
stuck. Disconnecting the printer cable (LIPS interface) or
rebooting are the only options if Simulation is turned OFF
without a loom interface attached and powered on.
Comments:
Simulation with Sound ON is the program default.

Command: Weave/Loom Setup/Frequency or Time < WLF or WLT >
Purpose: SETTINS--control pitch and duration of beeps
Information:
Patternland warns you when you are nearing the end of a
screen of weaving while controlling the loom. These
settings allow you to control the pitch and and duration
of the warning beep.

Command: Weave/Loom Setup/Invert Lifts < WLN >
Purpose: SWITCH--Reverse the harness lifting signals
Information:
Some mechanical CAW configurations require that all UNlifted
harnesses be signaled as opposed to Lifted harnesses.
With this switch ON, CAW interface reverses all data bit
signals for this type of loom mechanics.

______________________________________________________________
Command: Weave/Loom Setup/Parallel Port < WLP >
Purpose: SETTING--Select port for CAW device cable
Information:
IBM compatible computers can have up to three parallel
ports. If you have two ports, you can use one for your
printer and LPT2 for the LIPS interface.
Comments:
This setting has no affect if you have the J-Made loom
interface.
If you have only one port, leave this set for LPT1.
An additional parallel port can be purchased for well under
50 dollars.

Command: Weave/Loom Setup/CAW Harnesses < WLC >
Purpose: SETTING--Select maximum harnesses for CAW device
Information:
The CAW device is available in models capable of controlling
8, 16, 24, or 32 harnesses.
Comments:
You must set the configuration correctly for your interface
or it will not work.
The CAW harnesses setting is different from the current
harness limit for any particular weaving.
