Dugan Control Panel Software

The Dugan Control Panel has three panes. The controls displayed in these panes

depend on which Dugan device is selected in the Top Pane.

Top Pane

The Top Pane displays all connected Dugan units. The selected block is enclosed by

a yellow rectangle. These channels are shown in the Channel Pane. Clicking on

another block selects it and deselects the previous block.

NOTE:

The last block of a unit may have fewer than eight channels.
