3.6 Main LoopMaster Window

The Title Bar, Main Menu and Toolbar go across the top of the main window, and the Main Status Bar runs
along the bottom. Inside is the Control Strategy Window entitled Offline Control Strategy for SAMPLE.

3.7 Control Strategy Window

The Control Strategy Window provides a function block overview, showing inputs on the left and outputs on
the right. This window has its own title bar across the top, and its own status bar along the bottom. This
status bar reminds you that the Control Scheme is Cascade Controller, and the OFFL indicates that this is
an offline configuration.

Function blocks are drawn as standard Windows pushbuttons with an extra outline and drop shadow. For
example, input blocks are AI1, DI2, etc. Output blocks are AO1, DO2, etc. Internal blocks are FNC, CHR,
C Scheme, etc. There are two stand-alone blocks: System and EZ Tune.

There are two other buttons in this window: Strategies... and Help. The Strategies... button opens the
Strategy Assistant dialog. The Help button opens the LoopMaster help screen for this window.

Move the mouse around the Control Strategy Window. When the mouse moves over a button, the Main
Status Bar displays a FlyBy message. Look to the Main Status Bar for messages.
