Arcos II - Main Window

Main Window
When you launch the application, you will see the shown window ( note that the appearance of the window may vary depending on the ArcosII version ). The window is split into three different areas.

- ( 1 ), ( 2 ) and ( 5 ) - shows the data valid for the selected Encoder.
- ( 3 ) - shows a list of available Encoders stored in the database.
- ( 4 ) - chooses the data which should be sent to respectively requested from the Encoder.

Add A New Encoder And Adjust The Associated Data.
Choose the option 'New' in the 'Coder' menu to add a new Encoder to the database. The newly added Encoder will be displayed in the list ( 3 ). To adjust the data associated to the Encoder, just change the values in the Editfields, Checkboxes and Radiobuttons in the property pages ( 5 ) for your purpose. The values will be automatically stored in the database. To change the Name, Site and Encoder Address ( ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ), double click the entry in the list.

To generate a copy of an existing Encoder and all associated data choose menu 'Coder -> Clone'. This might be usefull if you want to create the same Encoder with different DSNs/PSNs.
