About this Manual

This manual provides both installation and start-up instructions

and an overview to the many features offered by Watlow's human-

machine interface software package, WatView. It will help you get

WatView communicating with your Watlow controllers and introduce

you to the things you can do with WatView. Both the installation sec-

tion and the feature overviews point you to more detailed informa-

tion in the controller manuals and the on-line help.

Pathways

This manual explains how to reach the featured screens and dia-

log boxes through menu and tab selections. These instructions are

indicated by a mouse icon and followed by menus and menu

items listed in sequence separated by the greater-than symbol (>).

For example, the path to the Spreadsheet Overview screen is indicat-

ed as: View menu > S

preadsheet.

To view the Spreadsheet Overview screen, click the View menu

and then click the menu option “Spreadsheet.” The underlined char-

acters indicate the shortcut keys that can be used to navigate the

menus.

Unless otherwise noted, menu instructions start at WatView’s

Main Menus. (See the figure on page 6.)

Editions

Occasionally there will be special information indicating features

that are supported or not supported by an edition.
