Introduction
Touch Screen Manager (TS Manager) allows a Windows-based workstation to connect to and
access data from an SSi touch screen. Connected to a compatible touch screen, TS Manager
provides a rich set of features, such as the following:
• Remote touch screen setup
• Downloading log data
• Downloading notes
• Database backups
• Managing maintenance items
• Passing notes to SuperDATA
• Reviewing notes, charts, and tabular data.
Prerequisites
Your SSi controller’s touch screen interface should be connected to the plant Ethernet network
on the same subnet as the PC that is going to interface via Touch Screen Manager. (A USB
connection with ActiveSync or Mobile Device Center can also be used to download data and view
trends.) Prerequisites for using TS Manager include .NET Framework 2.0, SQL CE 3.5, Microsoft
.NET 2.0 Redistributable, and either ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. The
setup.exe program will check to make sure that these prerequisites are installed and, if
necessary, install them.
