Axle Weighing - Printing Axle Weights on Tickets
- Heidi Adams
Printing Axle Weights on Tickets:
Axle weights can be stored temporarily with inbound and outbound transactions using Note fields. These note fields can be printed on tickets. The axle weights stored during the inbound transaction will be replaced with the axle weights during the outbound transaction.
Activate Note
To activate note fields to store axle weights select Setup | Configure | Ticket Notes
Select an available note field and enter Axle # as the Label. Replace the # with the axle number, i.e. Axle 1. Up to fifteen (15) axle weighments can be entered.
To print axle weights on a ticket use ticket keyword [Axle #] replace the # with 1 – 15. The note keyword will also work; i.e. [Notes 2]
Keyword
When entering the Label there must be a space between the word Axle and the number. Example: Axle 1.
The following is an example where Note 1 is labeled as Memo. The 'On trans view' option will ensure the Memo field will appear on the second weigh form. Notes 2, 3, and 4 will be used to store axle weights. Axle weighs will automatically appear under the scale weight, the 'On trans view' check box is not required.
Click the Save button to save changes. Click the Undo button to cancel any changes.
Ticket Format
The following is an example of how the axle note fields can be added to a printed ticket format file. These commands can be added to any ticket format file; .gtk, .utk, .jtk.

H [HPOS] "0.2" "Axle 2: " [Axle 2]
