Fly Out Windows
Touching one of the INFO Soft Keys initiates another window to open (or “fly out”). When one of
these windows is active, the associated INFO Soft Key will be yellow. In order to put the window
away, or switch to another Fly Out Window, press the INFO Soft Key again.
Warnings are also presented in a Fly Out Window. When a Warning appears, you must press the
Clear soft key to dismiss the warning.
The lower ethernet port is used for communication with the computer module in the electrical cabinet
–
do not remove this cable.
A USB Option Key is plugged into the USB port above the lower Ethernet port. This key must be
plugged in to allow certain standard software features to work and also to allow optional software
features to work.
Please note a number of control features designed to maximise the productivity of the machine:
The
Touch Screen
Interface enables you to interact with your programs and set ups with more
certainty and control than ever before.
Defaults
allow you to customize the ProtoTRAK RX for how
you
make parts; they are easy to set and
easy to change.
The
large LCD screen
and
fly out windows
allow you work with everything you need at the same
time without flipping between screens.
Enhanced ProtoTRAK Assistance (EPA)
is always available for you to quickly look up the
information you need for what you are doing at the time.
