Multistep Configuration User Interface

Tightening and multistep programs that appear dimmed indicate that they are Global Programs distributed from ToolsTalk. These programs cannot be changed via the controller GUI. Global programs can only be modified through ToolsTalk. Refer to the ToolsTalk user documentation for more information.

The user interface for configuring a multistep program can be divided into three main areas:

• In the 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 set.

• To the right there are three tabs containing the Steps, Monitors and Restrictions that can be used to build the multistep program. To use any of the items, select 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 user interface is made up of the tightening area. This is the area that includes all the steps in the tightening program.
