GUI Navigation Summary

Although the screens shown in this section are for a SigmaCD UHF IOT transmitter, the
basic Web GUI navigation will have the same look and feel for all supported
transmitters. All transmitter GUIs will have the four basic components of:

•

Title Bar

•

Control Interface

•

Fault Log/Help

•

Summary window with the 5 common transmitter sub-systems and the

Home tab.

NOTE:

Performance Monitoring Tab shown here is an option and is only available on
DiamondCD, SigmaCD and Ranger DTV transmitters.
