CHAPTER THREE - PL3000 BASICS

CONTROL PANEL
Control panel is a collection of applets to access
the settings of different system properties; to configure
those properties; to change their performance
characteristics; to enable and disable them, among
others. The control panel is one channel to manage the
properties of the PL3000. It may not be the most
convenient means to do that, and it is worth considering
whether the end user of the device could have access
to the device’s system resources through the control
panel, or whether some of those adjustable and
informative features should be made available to the
end user in an actual business application. The control panel is also a good
starting point for understanding the features the system allows to enable / disable,
to adjust, etc.
