USING YOUR DEVICE | IPG PHOTONICS 

 

Touch-screen Display 

The  touch-screen  display  is  used  for  manual  control  from  the  front  panel  of  the  device  and  for  the 
indication  of  information  about  the  state  and  settings  of  the  device.  In  addition,  activating  certain 
commands from the main window  will invoke additional submenu windows. In remote mode, the touch-
screen display function is disabled and can only be used for display purposes.
