2.5 Window Manager
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 machine tool builder determines the scope of function
and behavior of the window manager. The machine tool
manual provides further information.
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.
