specific purpose. The icons have names and double clicking an icon will initiate that
purpose, task or program.
A 6-button keypad 54
on the Statler Stitcher sewing head. Like the mouse and
keyboard, these keys are also programmed to respond to (or interact with) the
instructions on the monitor. Using the keypad eliminates the need to move from the
quilt to the computer every time instructions are executed.
Cables (lots of them) are required for all the parts to work together. This makes the
system look complicated but the engineers have designed the cables so they are
unique (one cable only fits into one connection) or color coded (like the mouse &
keyboard cables) or they are very well labeled (X, Y, Z connections).
Mouse and Keyboard are used to respond to (or interact with) the instructions on
the monitor.
Additional equipment:
Surge Protectors are highly recommended for the computer and controller.
Universal Power Supply (UPS) is a good idea for people who experience frequent
power outages. The UPS is like a backup battery that prevents damage to a
computer component when the electricity fluctuates significantly. Contact Statler
Stitcher technical support team to check the power specs for the UPS.
Thumb drive (also called Jump Stick, Travel Drive or Removable Disk Drive) is a
form of removable media. It is a disk drive, used when copying files from the home
computer to the Statler computer. It is much easier than using floppy diskettes (too
small) or burning CDs (too slow). Files are copied from the source (home) computer
to the thumb drive, and then from the thumb drive to the destination (Statler)
computer.
