What is TF Editor?

TF Editor is a computer program that allows you to use your computer to edit TF series console settings while away from the console
(offline mode), and operate the console using the computer while it is connected to the console (online mode).

Connecting TF Editor to the console

TF Editor connects to the TF series console using a network connection. The computer and console can connect to each other if
they are connected to the same network. For information about network settings, refer to the Installation Guide for TF Editor.
NOTE
• Only one TF Editor session can run on a computer at a time.
• When computer (running TF Editor) and iPads (running TF StageMix) are connected to the console, the console supports up to three
simultaneous connections.
Only one computer running TF Editor can connect to the console at a time.

Startup

Select the model number and then click the [Start] button.
This setting is saved; you do not need to select the model number the next time you start TF Editor.
