monitors throughout the boat (C)

Operating the system
The Zeus
2
Processor supports single and dual touch-screen operation when used with
compatible touch monitors.
If a ZC1 controller is available on the network, this can control multiple processors and
monitors, including power control. A separate manual is delivered with the ZC1 unit.
You can also use keyboard and mouse/trackball to control the Zeus
2
Processor. Once these
devices are connected to the USB ports on a processor, they can be used to control the
monitors connected to the same processor.
The USB ports can be configured to accommodate various types of controllers. If the USB
port is set to switchable you can switch control of monitors by pressing the Ctrl key on a
keyboard twice, or by clicking the middle button on the mouse.
Active controller is indicated with an icon in the status bar. A large image will appear in the
middle of the display when controller type is selected.
This manual does not include details about operation by alternative controllers, unless for
