Introduction to the SKF GX Series Microlog
Module Management
Module Management
As previously described, the Microlog is always shipped with all available modules
preinstalled
, whether purchased or not. However, modules that were not purchased
are inactive (dimmed module icons) and require a license key entry to activate before
use.
Module management consists of:
•
Using the Module Manager to hide or show module icons (e.g., hide inactive module
icons)
•
Uninstalling modules you do not intend to use (e.g., to free up internal disk space,
uninstall inactive modules)
•
Activating modules with a license key (e.g., after purchase, activate a pre-installed
module)
•
Installing Modules (e.g., reinstall a module you previously uninstalled)
Installing modules is documented in the
Module Manager and
Firmware Installation Procedure
document on the Product CD.
Hiding and Showing Icons
Icons for modules that are not activated appear dimmed.
The Microlog Module Manager allows you to hide pre-installed module icons. For
example you may choose to hide all the inactive (dimmed) icons. You can also use the
Module Manager to show previously hidden icons. For example, if you decide to
purchase and activate a module whose icon has been hidden, you first need to “show”
the icon.
You may hide and show icons for both active and inactive
modules.
Once an icon is hidden, its module is not represented on the Main
Menu, in the About box, or on the splash screen when the unit is
powered on or the application is restarted.
To hide or show module icons:
•
From the Main Menu screen, select the
Setup
icon.
•
Press 0 / up (Shift) and the
Modules
function button. The
Module Manager
displays a list of installed modules. Modules with hidden icons are shown in [square
brackets]. The second function button displays
Hide
if the highlighted module’s icon
is not hidden, or
Show
if the highlighted module’s icon is hidden.
