Multistep GUI

While multistep tightening programs can be selected from the controller screen, editing programs can only be done in the web GUI.

Tightening and multistep programs that appear dimmed can not be changed via the web GUI. These programs have been created in ToolsTalk, which can be used to define whether a program can be changed in ToolsTalk, the web GUI, or both. Use ToolsTalk to change these programs.

The interface for mutistep programs can be divided into three main areas.

On top there is a drop-down menu containing the Properties of the multistep tightening program. Here general properties such as program name, overall program monitor and validation can be filled out.

To the right there are four tabs containing the steps, monitors, restrictions and reporters that can be used to build the multistep program. To use any of the items, click on the appropriate tab, and drag the item in the list to the tightening area. Depending on its function, either drop the item between the beginning and the end of the program (for steps), or on top of a particular step (for monitors and restrictions).

The main area of the interface is the tightening area. This is the area that includes all the steps in the tightening program. Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out on the tightening area.

At bottom left of the screen there is a Copy Tightening Program button and a Delete Tightening Program button.
