Tasks

CCD server = Provision of real-time measured values

Demo server (D) = Provision of Demo-measured

values
Licence server (L)= Provision of licence data

ILSV server = Provision of language data

TDE = Solldateneditor i.e. target data editor

RemoteControl (IR) = Remote control program

Function

The main program serves as an interface between the
user and the equipment. The interface provides an
operational platform here.
The main program receives the corresponding data
from 4 servers:
