GENERAL OPERATION
About Vx76 Software
The Vx76 software application provides the graphical user interface (GUI) for console operation. The Vx76 software is
built on a Mac OS® platform which will be familiar to all windows-based software users.
The Vx76 software provides standard menu-based operations that can be accessed on the external monitor display(s)
by using the cursor or by touching the displays themselves (in the case of touch-enabled monitors). The software also
provides the interface for the touchscreens available on the front panel (desk). In many cases, operations can be done
using either the front panel touchscreens or the menus. This manual covers operations on the front panel
touchscreens, however, these operations could also be done using the menu system. In most cases, the touchscreen
interface and menu-based windows look the same.
The Vx76 software may be upgraded as new features become available.
