Using the Job Mode

Job Mode controls how TAMS organises measurements into named jobs or parts. It can be used simply to record a few readings, or to guide an operator through a predefined list of parts using a database.

Job Mode options

Job Mode has three settings:

• OFF

  • No job or part information is used.
  • TAMS records measurements and batches, but does not ask for batch names.
  • Best for quick checks and ad‑hoc measurements.

• Manual

  • The operator chooses job/part information when closing a batch.
  • TAMS can prompt for a batch name taken from a database (for example a list of parts).
  • Suitable when parts are measured in flexible order, but still need to be labelled.

• Guided

  • TAMS guides the operator through a predefined list of parts or positions.
  • Each batch is linked to a specific item in the database (for example “Panel A”, “Panel B”).
  • Best when a complete product must be measured in a specific sequence.
