System Menu
A menu that gathers the equipment setup, test, and diagnostic screens. From one place it opens the setup screens for operating parameters, the test screens for manually checking I/O, cylinders, and motors, and the screens for motor parameters, communication, and user management.
All items are enabled only while a project is open. Each screen opens as a center tab in the main
window; see the per-item detail chapters for specifics. The menu path is System at the top of the
main window.
