Main Screen

     

    The main screen is what appears when CAT-100 View is first opened. In order to utilize most of this screen, data must first be downloaded from a CAT-100 unit. This is performed with the Manage CAT100s option.

     

    Figure 44 shows the layout of the CAT-100 View main screen. Lettered labels correspond to descriptions in Table 3 - Main Screen options and Table 4 - Main Screen display fields.
