2.5 Window Manager
The machine tool builder determines the scope of
function and behavior of the window manager. Refer
to your machine manual.
The TNC features the Xfce window manager. Xfce is a standard
application for UNIX-based operating systems, and is used to
manage graphical user interfaces. The following functions are
possible with the window manager:
Display a task bar for switching between various applications
(user interfaces).
Manage an additional desktop, on which special applications
from your machine tool builder can run.
Control the focus between NC-software applications and those
of the machine tool builder.
The size and position of pop-up windows can be changed.
It is also possible to close, minimize and restore the pop-up
windows.
The TNC shows a star in the upper left of the screen
if an application of the window manager or the
window manager itself has caused an error. In this
case, switch to the window manager and correct the
problem. If required, refer to your machine manual.
