Issue 3.3 2016-02-08

Using the AUI

The NX50 has an advanced user interface (AUI) that is displayed on a 17-inch, colour LCD screen
mounted on the front of the control cabinet (see

Figure 2.1

). The AUI is controlled locally by a touch

screen or remotely using a PC and a web browser.

This section includes the following topics:

•

"Logging into the AUI", on page 2-3

•

"Describing the AUI layout", on page 2-8

•

"Navigating from page to page", on page 2-11

•

"Summarizing the AUI pages", on page 2-12
