Instruments and Menus | Overview

This overview contains all descriptions about instruments and menus being available as context sensitive help texts on a fully equipped unit. The order of descriptions approximately follows the order of the quick start guide. Depending on the activated licences on your unit, the number of available instruments and menus may differ.

  

Please note:
In every help text specific characteristics of the different unit types or licences may be described.

• Instruments (Functions and Menus)  
All instruments being available on a TouchMonitor (with all licences activated) are listed in alphabetic order and marked with the corresponding icon. Use the links labelled Instrument to find the description of the instrument and its functions in normal operation. Settings, Keys, and other links open the descriptions of the instrument-specific menu options.
