SCN 2908 added the ability to track scrap that was cut by a Front Shear prior to the coil being threaded into the machine. If a Manual Front Shear operation is detected while the coil was tailed out, after the new coil loaded the controller prompts the operator with a window where the scrap can be manually entered. This window is displayed after the new coil number is entered.

This same window will now be displayed any time a new coil is loaded, after the coil number has been entered.

Any Customer who is bothered by this new Window can disable it with a new Setup Parameter. The new Setup is called Coil Pre-Thread-Up Window. It has two settings, Enabled and Disabled. It defaults to Enabled. The Setting is not visible if a Front Shear Tool is enabled. In this case the Window is still selectively displayed as described in SCN 2908.

The new setup can also be configured by Eclipse using the ME UART command.
