System Tree View
Provides a node-level view of the system being configured. The top-
level represents the currently connected controller, followed by one
or more nodes representing the mechanisms in the system. For
each mechanism, the components available for configuration are
displayed as child nodes under the mechanism name.
When you select a node in tree view, the Configuration View
changes to provide access to the configuration options for that
node. For example, if the cursor is on a joint node, the
page displays.

Clicking the Help tab displays the online help topic for the current
configuration view. If the Help tab is not displayed, you can turn it

The tabs available are determined by the system component

Cobra i600 mechanism, you will have tabs on the side to access the
Hand Control and Obstacle configuration pages.
