Using the AUI

The NV40/30 has an advanced user interface (AUI) that is displayed on a 17-inch, colour LCD

screen mounted on the front of the control cabinet (

Figure 2.1

). The AUI is controlled via

touch screen that you can also access using a PC and a web browser.

This section includes the following topics:

•

Logging into the AUI on page 2-3

•
