Working with the 3DM Screens

Viewing Information About Different Controllers in 3DM

If you have more than one controller in the system, you select the one you want to see details about from the drop-down list at the right of the menu bar.

This drop-down is available on all pages that provide controller-specific features.

Note: Throughout these instructions, current controller is used to refer to the controller which is currently selected in this drop-down list.

Refreshing the Screen

You can refresh the data on the screen at any time by clicking Refresh Page in the menu bar. This causes 3DM to update the information shown with current information from the controller and associated drives.

Automatic refreshes can also be set. For details, see “Setting the Frequency of Page Refreshes” on page 43.

Note: If you click Refresh on the browser window, you will be taken back to the Summary page.
