start condition machine functions.

Functions which are switched off are not present at the design. The switches on or off behind the functions are setting the start condition.
Multihead:

Here you can define the start needle of the machine. If your machine has got the head selection feature, you can input the head distance here. As well as for revolutions control the respective buttons are displayed in the manual punching mode. They are stored only in the ZSK transport code, all other stitch data codes don’t support these commands.
Shiffli:

In the dialogue-field Repeat pattern the start condition for the repeat-pattern can be input. There are the following values available:
1 - 9 are the classical repeat pattern for 1 - 4 needles or 16/4 repeats
10-90 is an extension of the repeat pattern up to 13 needles or 52/4 repeats
100 - 990 define repeat-group blocks. The last both numbers define a normal repeat pattern as described above and the first number defines the needle group according to the same principle.
Example: 006 every 4th needle starting with the first needle
106 every 8th needle starting with the first needle
206 every 8th needle starting with the 5th needle (2nd group of 16/4)
605 every 12th needle starting with the 3rd needle (1st group of 16/4
905 every 12th needle starting with the 12th needle
Starting from repeat pattern number 1000 free repeat pattern can be defined. They can be inserted under Selection in the repeat pattern directory137DFZ_.
