Also with mechanically operating machines MÜCARD Special features – Software devised by knitting specialists and machines from one maker who is familiar with customers' needs (continuous process sequence). – User-friendly processing of pattern images and knitting patterns with all supplementary conditions required for first class knits – Conversion of the pattern from draft to finished narrow fabric. – Reliable, modern, user-oriented operating interface. – 3½" diskette drive for direct reading into the machine. – MÜCARD networked with the machines (MÜCAM) for on-line pattern transfer. Design patterns Following digitalisation (scanning), the motifs can be further processed in MÜCAD design and then passed to MÜCARD2. Designs from all standard image processing programs (z.B. CorelDraw, Corel PaintShop Pro, Adobe Photoshop) can be imported, along with images direct from digital cameras and scanners in *.bmp und *.jpg formats. The most important functions MÜCARD2 offers a diversity of functions for the search, production, copying, storage and processing of article cards: – Extensive search functions with graphic display of the design – Support of configurations with a maximum of 26 ground and pattern bars and very long repeat lengths (speed 1, speed 2, speed 4, overspeed) – Simple setting, copying, shifting and removal of the thread guides – Comfortable allocation of standard patterns onto whole bars or individual thread guides – Extensive pattern processing functions via the mouse and numerical inputs – Semi-automatic generation of the pattern from background graphics – Collision checks with deviation displays – Control of thread feeding with graphic allocation to the bars – Simple setting and removal of needles and picot – Registration of text areas on the pattern and complete production texts – Yarn consumption calculation MÜCARD2 facilitates design creation by enabling the chain link arrays to be printed out. Detailed information concerning the hard- and software requirements is contained in the PZ-sheet 5053. The software is available in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Turkish.
