The PC Control program is operated within the main dialog window in

exactly the same way as Touch Control. All the elements of this

program window as well as the fixed keys can be activated or selected

with a mouse-click.
PC Control also has a menu bar via which the specific PC Control

functions can be selected.
In addition, the controls of the main dialog display can be accessed

and operated via the PC keyboard. A cursor is provided; this can be

moved from one item to the next by using the tab key. An item selected

in this way is activated by the space bar. Input fields can be edited

directly.
