# \[VACUUMBED]

## automaticMode

***Automatic mode***
Determines if automatic vacuum section feature is enabled and whether active sections are predetermined during job estimation (all intersecting sections will be on during the job) or if the sections are automatically activated once the machine position reaches a section and then turned off once the machine leaves that section.

## numberOfSections

***Number of sections***
Amount of separate vacuum sections.

## sectionPump\_\<id>\_OutputID

***Section \<id> pump output***
Output that is used to switch a pump for a vacuum section on.

:::hint{type="info"}
Multiple vacuum sections can use one the same pump output.
:::

:::hint{type="info"}
Relay board outputs can be specified.
:::

## section\_\<id>\_OutputID

***Section \<id> output***
Output that is used to switch a vacuum section on (e.g. a valve).

:::hint{type="info"}
Relay board outputs can be specified.
:::

## section\_\<id>\_XPosition

***Section \<id> negative X limit***
Negative limit of vacuum section on the X axis.

:::hint{type="info"}
Use redraw/recalculate function of the 3D view to see the vacuum sections on the 3D view after setting them up.
:::

## section\_\<id>\_YPosition

***Section \<id> negative Y limit***
Negative limit of vacuum section on the Y axis.

## section\_\<id>\_XWidth

***Section \<id> X size***
Size of the vacuum section (on the X axis).

## section\_\<id>\_YWidth

***Section \<id> Y size***
Size of the vacuum section (on the Y axis).
