Sync Mode library

The Sync mode configuration library contains sync mode templates that can be used to create and modify sync mode configurations and distribute them to multiple controllers.

Configurations library

Settings library

A library for Event configurations that can be distributed to other controllers. The events can be created here or in the Events section within the Settings and then added to the library. Editing an Event configuration will affect all controllers that subscribe to the configuration.

Program templates library

Create templates for Multistep tightening program. When creating a new multistep program, the template can be inserted (drag-and-drop) and act as a base to build the multistep program on.

Controller configuration library

The controller configuration library contains controller templates that can be used to create and modify controller configurations and distribute them to multiple controllers. The library is also very useful for copying and developing configurations in Station Setup mode without access to a ToolsTalk 2 server installation.
