3.1 Explorer layout for DNC and DNC Admin

The DNC user interface is based on Windows with regard to its functionality and
how it is handled. You can work through the dialogs using the mouse or keyboard.
In addition to the menus, the interface includes a toolbar containing all the key
functions and a status bar for messages.
Operators must log on. Operators are authorized to use different functions
depending on the user rights assigned to them.
There are two user interfaces:

User interface for NC data management (DNC Explorer)

User interface for administration (DNC Admin Explorer)

3.1.1 Explorer layout

Fig. 3-1: DNC user interface

The user interfaces for DNC Admin and DNC differ only very slightly. Each of the
programs does, however, have a number of additional, different functions. See
also: Chapter 10 Configuration.
The screen is divided into two sections.

As in Windows Explorer, the left side of the screen shows the tree structure for
all the DNC administrative units in the plant configuration, starting with the root
to the groups (subgroups), links and individual machine. Selected units are
highlighted in color.

The right side of the screen contains a list of all the subordinate elements (NC
data, etc.) for the unit selected on the left. In addition to the file name, the size,
type, creation date, etc. of the units are displayed. You can configure the list
display using the list editor.
The area above these two panes contains the address field, the filter field as well
as the toolbar and menu bar. The status bar is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
