FIF Translator Version 4 - September, 2007

Summary of Enhancement Information

• This version retains both the XYZ and YBC data intact. There is no forced conversion in one direction or another between the two data types.

• Now ALL data found in an FIF file is converted to the Supravision format.

• Distance data can be automatically converted to the other unit (Millimeters to Inches, or Inches to Millimeters).

• Improved error handling.

NEW Conversion Features

XYZ Data	In addition to the XYZ points and bend RADII... NEW - Properly skip REFERENCE points in the XYZ data. (Reference points are not intersection or end points. They are not used to define the shape of the tube.) NEW - Retain XYZ data as it exists in the FIF file. No longer attempt a recalc from YBC to XYZ. This allows measuring centers to be sure to retain original XYZ MASTER data during conversion.
YBC (Bender) Data	In addition to the YBC data... NEW - Retain YBC data as it exists in the FIF file. No longer attempt a recalc from XYZ to YBC. This allows measuring centers to retain original YBC bender setup data during conversion.
SPEED Data	NEW - Conversion of YBC axes speeds: 1 - 8
FUNCTION Data	NEW - Conversion of all YBC FUNCTION Bits (12345678)
SPECIAL FUNCTION Data	NEW - Conversion of all YBC FUNCTION STOP and LAST Bits
EATON LEONARD SETUP Data	NEW PROCESS VALUES CONVERTED: NEW - Default Radius (from first radius level) NEW - End A Diameter NEW - End B Diameter
EATON LEONARD TOOL Data	Handles Up to 9 Radius Levels - EACH LEVEL can contain: NEW - Radius NEW - Fixed Springback NEW - Proportional Springback NEW - Clamp Length NEW - Clearance Feed NEW - Clearance Angle
EATON LEONARD SETUP Data	NEW - Ymin NEW - Interference Zone 1 NEW - Interference Zone 2 NEW - Load Position NEW - Load Offset NEW - Y Position Tolerance NEW - Pressure Die Open Code NEW - Boost Delay
EATON LEONARD EXTENDED SETUP Data	NEW - Up to 99 EXTENDED setup values are automatically converted

Automatic Conversion of Units

NEW - All distance values can be automatically converted to the opposite unit during conversion.

Note: This does not apply to the EXTENDED Setup data, as Supravision does not attempt to convert these values between units.
