Using the program

•

To create a tie, click and drag an input box to one or more output boxes. To remove a
tie, drag the output box to its tied input box or to the trash can.

•

To make the control program easier to use, assign a device icon to each input and
output. Click on a box that represents an input or output, and drag the desired icon
onto the box from the icon palette that opens.

•

For quick display of information on a specific input or output device, position the pointer
tool over that device in the control program window. The program opens a pop-up that
details the connections to that device and the signal status (present or missing) input
from or output to that device (see the inset box in

figure 37

on the next page).
