Platinum Overview
4.1
Introduction
All key acquisition module configuration and control tasks can be carried out
either from the web interface or from the command line.
The web interface presents some additional options not available from the
command line. Some of these are merely short-cuts into the main
configuration system while others offer additional monitoring and diagnostic
facilities. Configuration of attached digitisers can be carried out using the
web interface but not from the command line (although access to the
digitiser's command line is available).
The command-line interface also supports a number of advanced facilities
which are not available via the main configuration system: these are mostly
diagnostic tools which are not required for normal operation.
4.2
Using the web interface
The web interface is split into two frames:
The left-hand frame contains the system ID above a menu while the main
frame displays sub-menus, input forms and display screens.
4.2.1 Navigation aides
To help with navigation, the main frame displays a series of links indicating
the current position in the configuration-system hierarchy:
These links are commonly known as a “bread-crumb trail”. The “Home” link
will return the user to the system home page shown above.
