Window Manager

The machine tool builder determines the scope of

function and behavior of the window manager. Refer

to your machine manual.

The TNC features the Xfce window manager. Xfce is a standard

application for UNIX-based operating systems, and is used to

manage graphical user interfaces. The following functions are

possible with the window manager:

Display a task bar for switching between various applications

(user interfaces).
Manage an additional desktop, on which special applications

from your machine tool builder can run.
Control the focus between NC-software applications and those

of the machine tool builder.
The size and position of pop-up windows can be changed.

It is also possible to close, minimize and restore the pop-up

windows.

The TNC shows a star in the upper left of the screen

if an application of the window manager or the

window manager itself has caused an error. In this

case, switch to the window manager and correct the

problem. If required, refer to your machine manual.
