Automatic Features with “Take Control” Operation
Many of the features that can be turned on or off by Quantum Engineer already
have Automatic Control. The Quantum System allows the operator to “Take
Control” of certain automatic features by using their associated control keys. Once
you “Take Control”, the features will no longer have Automatic Control and you will
control their operation and state with their key commands. Automatic and Take
Control operations are described in the table below.
