Clicking this button will load the Mac copy buffer with a status summary of the MIOConsole3d
application, driver and each box listed in the currently running Console, ready for you to paste into
session records and/or email correspondence with Metric Halo. This information is very helpful when
requesting any kind of technical support.
Note: This system status information is automatically included when using the MIOConsole3d “Help”
menu service forms.

tween systems, you may disable this feature in the
preference pane.
