When there are 2 workstations in the system you can gain control at each
workstation when the other workstation is idle for 2 seconds. This timeout period
can be altered in the settings mode to between 1-99 seconds, as explained below.

When there are 2 users using the system, either user can override the Timeout

On the keyboard press Shift followed by F12.
To relinquish control:
On the keyboard press Shift followed by Esc.
In the settings mode you can disable the lock control function. This is explained in
