Operation
To allow for easy configuration, TekControl operates in Advanced mode when the program is first
installed. Both the Advanced and User modes have configurable panel displays. TekControl also
operates within the Window’s Tray for quick launching of TekControl or as a menu selection by a right
mouse click. To configure TekControl, first select from the Tools menu and search for a TekMonitor.
The menu operation of TekControl allows for the following:
 File
 TekMonitor
 View
 Tools
 Help
File
The File menu selection allows for saving, recalling a configuration and exiting the program. Saving a
configuration is only accessible within the Advanced panel. Different panel configurations and
connections to different TekMonitors can be saved. Saving different configurations allows for the
same laptop computer to be used in multiple rooms. The configuration settings are stored in a
TekControl .tcd file. The Exit button on TekControl form only minimizes the program. To kill the
program use Alt-F4 or the file menu Exit.
TekMonitor
From this menu selection the user can connect or disconnect a TekMonitor.
View
Use the View menu selection to select between Advanced or User panel. To switch to Advanced a
login is required. The login requires both a user’s name and password. The user’s name is always
Admin and the password always starts with
“Tek” and is followed by the Pass Code of the
TekMonitor. If the Pass Code is 6373, then the password is Tek6373. If the Pass Code is changed
from TekManager, it is automatically transferred to TekControl. If TekControl is not currently
connected to a TekMonitor and the Pass Code is changed, the TekMonitor will allow TekControl to
connect using the old Pass Code and then transfer the new Pass Code.
Tools
The selections on the Tools menu changes via the Advanced or User panel. The Tools menu is used
to configure the operation and display of TekControl.
