RUMI circular socks machines programming
Two graphic programs are actually employed for programming the new circular knitting machines: RUMIDRAW graphic program, for the pattern's creation WACPAINT graphic program, for the administration of chain and pattern's program, between the computer and the machine.
RUMIDRAW graphical program description
The program RUMIDRAW is being used by RUMI S.p.a. as the principal graphic program for the creation of patterns on the knitting machines in production. The program has been developed trying to make the best of the platform Windows 32 bit.
The pattern's realization takes place in a very intuitive way, by the use of specific functions studied in way to guide the user during the creation of sock's patterns. The instruments, even though very powerful, turn out to be very familiar also for those who have little experience with the normal graphic programs. Working at a high resolution, it is possible to obtain high quality images thanks to the very useful zoom function which is complete of a grid so to obtain the best, also in the visualization of small details with few stitches.
RUMIDRAW is a multidocument program so it is possible to work with more than one design at the same time.
Besides the program offers specific instruments to interact in a very simple and fast way with any type of scanner and printer, among all of these instruments the reduction function is very useful to modify straight away the colours of an image previously scanned. The system is modular, that is to say, with the version Extended (Optional), it is possible to obtain simulations and reproductions of the socks with a stitch effect, the colour's variation for the preparation of samples directly from the computer, the registration of the items and many other very interesting functions continuously in evolution.
WACPAINT graphical program description
WACPAINT is the development tool employed to program the RUMI knitting machine equipped with WAC electronics. The programming of these machine is graphical, that's to say that the controls and the selections' representation is assured by a pattern rather than a sequence of controls normally expressed in textual format. The approach to this programming offers many advantages, do the possibility of seeing what the machine performs range after range, needle by needle and it also permits to control the machine's situation in any moment.

WACPAINT introduces the differentiation between chain program and pattern, dividing them in two separate entities and it also introduces a sequence of controls linked to the program's execution. WACPAINT is not a pattern program, this means that ít incorporates a sequence of functions which feature the conversion of pattern from standard to WAC original format, giving the possibility of visual combination between the colours and the possible different pattern.
Particularly, the program can:

- create and edit programs
- convert pattern from Window BMP and Pluto PIC into WAC format
- create association between colours and feeder

With its professional vector plot capability, picture and character can be reshaped, filled, gradated and shadowed, and various kinds of complicated figures and fine arts can be created.
A Multi-picture input function added into its recent version enables it to input several pictures at same time, adjust size and arrange format of picture according to paper size. It may help professional user to save plate making time and increase operational efficiency.
Seperate block print output,the largest output format is 130m×130 m, documents generated is not limited by WINDOWS 2GB.
Color Control
Companied with MainTop powerful color calibration capability, it can control ink quantity of whole picture, as well as ink quantity of single color for calibrating unique color and overall picture gamma.
Key RIP Technology
It enables user to select operation modes of output equipment for saving consumption materials of printer.
It provides many color schemes, supports more ink combinations and helps you to meet more service requirements.
Its auto-compensation capability can implement calibration based on output error of the printing equipment in order to maintain accuracy of large format picture, especially pictures that need to be combined together.
ICC Color Management
Instead of calibrator, MainTop color management system uses closed-loop color calibration function to generate MCM color characteristic (ICC) file automatically. It calculates the combination of different sized ink drops and RIP screen dot format which ordinary ICC does not involve. This is the most important technique for ensuring the calibrating effectiveness.
The system can calibrate color and ink quantity according to characteristics of the ink and medium, implement accurate color management, and produce esthetic and colorful image under any circumstance.
Printing Management
Multi-job management capability can accomplish several queued jobs in priority order and its high speed RIP segment processing ability may allow user to initiate a series of printing by touching one key.
Output buffering ability enabled by RIP techniques overcomes data capacity restrict of WINDOWS and supports extra large format printing.
