General Information
The TMRC configuration and diagnostic program allows the installer to make
programming changes and troubleshoot the system quickly and efficiently. The
user interface is very user-friendly, and most operations can be performed by
pointing and clicking with the mouse. The user interface adheres to commonly
accepted standards of user interface development.
Overview of the TMRC Program
The TMRC graphical user interface runs on Microsoft Windows™ based machines,
running Windows™ 3.1 or higher. It will also run on Windows™3 95 machines as
a 16-bit application. The user interface is structured as a multi- dialog application,
and each dialog box has its own context sensitive help. The help engine supports
additional tools for searching and printing.
Further, the TMRC program supports both “Standalone” and “Remote Device”
modes. Additionally, the configuration can be previewed and printed on a printer
connected to a personal computer. A terminal window is provided for diagnostic
purposes. The data in the terminal window can be saved to a file for review and
future reference.
