The following tables provide an overview of the functions available on the CN8-SW menus. Not all functions are available all the time. If a function is not available, its name is displayed on the CN8-SW window in gray instead of black. If a keyboard shortcut is available for a function, the shortcut appears on the menu to the right of the function name.

4The contents of the .MCS file determine what controllers appear on the main display. The ability to create, save, and open a variety of .MCS files enables you to create displays that do not include all the controllers on the network hosted by the PC. For example, if Operator A is only interested in Controllers 1, 2, and 9, you can create an .MCS file that would cause the CN8-SW display to show only those controllers when Operator A uses that file. Operator B could use a different .MCS file to see a different custom display, one containing only Controllers 3, 4, 6, and 9, for example.

5If the CN8-SW toolbar is not visible, use the View menuÕs Toolbar item to display the toolbar.
