in this section for more information.

Global Status Screen

Touching the

Global Status

button at the top of the Main screen opens the

Global Status screen, which displays the current preset number being

sprayed and the air flow and electrostatic output for up to sixteen guns at a

time.

The legend on the left side of the screen shows the color coding used in the

bar scales and the meaning of the numbers next to the scales.

Scroll the Consoles/Guns with the Up and Down arrows to display the next

16 guns if your system has more than 16. CA is the master console; CB is

the slave console (Prodigy systems do not use slave consoles but still list

guns 17

−

32 on CB).

If a gun control card, iFlow module, or pump control card goes offline or

stops communicating with the iControl PC, the

Network Error Indicator

appears on the screen next to the gun and preset number.

Touching the
