The technician enters in business and customer data in the grey fields labeled “Prepared By” and “Prepared For”. General Key Leveling data is entered in the “General Analysis Information” information field where units of measure may be selected (inches or millimeters) and general dimensional data for all keys is given.
The technician enters the amount of Arc Height desired. If no arc height is desired, and the technician would prefer that the keys be leveled in a straight plane, the value of 0.000 is entered. The technician may require that no keys be lowered during the key leveling procedure; if this is the case the technician would enter “D” or “d” in the “allow shim reduction at balance rail” field.
Position data from the key leveling apparatus is entered into the program in the “Rest” and “Dip” fields for both the white and the black keys. The program automatically calculates the amount of shim addition or removal required for each key at the front and balance rail. The program accounts for apparatus miss-alignment and keys that could be out of the measurable range of the indicator. Upon completion of the Technician Worksheet, the data is saved and calculations are performed based upon the data entered.
