XL2 Changed Title and Cancel Button Text for Coil Unload Window
XL200

The Coil Unload window pops up when a new coil is detected by the Tail Out input. The window title is "Unload Current Coil". It shows the coil number and footage of the coil we believe was unloaded, or used up, to make room for the new coil that was just detected. The window also has three buttons.

  1. Return Coil to Inventory
  2. Coil was Completed
  3. Cancel

When you consider that the user just loaded a new coil and is now being presented with a window titled "Unload Current Coil", it may skew how they interpret the meaning of the three buttons. What we really want to know is what happened to the coil that was previously loaded prior to us detecting this new one. We believe the title of "Unload Current Coil" was leading new operators to mistakenly select the Cancel button. The Cancel button is intended for any situation where a coil was backed off of the Tail Out sensor and then rethreaded.

We have changed the window title to "Unload Previous Coil".

Also, the "Cancel" button text was changed to "Coil was NOT Unloaded".

We believe both of these changes will clarify the purpose of this window and help operators select the correct option.
