Additional tools for ITCs

The following additional tools allow you to apply various settings for
the touch screens on connected ITCs.
ITCs are industrial PCs without their own memory media, and
therefore they do not have their own operating system. This feature
is what makes ITCs different from IPCs.
ITCs are frequently used with large machinery, e.g. as a clone of
the actual control system.
Refer to your machine manual.
The machine manufacturer defines and configures the
display and function of the connected ITCs and IPCs.
