Claim 1:
2. The weaving machine according to claim 1, wherein the control unit acquires the information related to the structure of the woven fabric structure in the area of the beat up plane from one or more of the following sources:
a weave pattern draft stored in a first storage unit that is accessed by the control unit wherein the information is incorporated into the weave pattern draft;
a second storage unit in which the information is stored and that is accessed by the control unit, wherein the control unit also accesses a weave pattern draft stored in a first storage unit;
a control algorithm process that produces the information from a weave pattern draft that is stored in a first storage unit during the weaving operation; and
one or more sensors in communication with the control unit and positioned to analyze a surface of the woven fabric, the sensors located at one or more of: in front of the beat up plane, stationary between the guide unit and the weaving reed; below the woven fabric adjacent the beat up plane; and above the woven fabric adjacent the beat up plane.
