C.3 Navigating Datalink
When you run the Datalink software it will open up with a window
similar to the one shown in figure C-2.
At the very top of the display is a series of pull-down menus that
access various functions. Just below that is the toolbar, which
contains buttons for the most commonly used functions.
The pane on the left is called the Workspace. It is your primary
access point to the devices in your system. At the top of the
workspace is a list of available Interfaces; these are the devices on
the network defined by the selected protocol. In the figure you can
see under Protocols that ‘Optimus CAN2’ is highlighted, so the list
of Interfaces is a list of devices connected on the CAN2 network.
If you are connected to CAN1, double-click on ‘Optimus CAN1’ to
bring up the connected devices. On an EPS system you should see
only the Main PCM, your helm(s), and your display(s).
