1 Tab Overview

Depending on the license, you should ﬁrst select a location and then the required overview is shown. If

the location option is not in your license, the overview tab will directly show.

In the tab ‘Overview’ all conﬁgured controllers are shown. There are maximal 100 controllers available

on one location. These controllers are divided on four pages.

Select a cell to show the concerning details in a new tab. In this way multiple cells can be selected

what will lead to multiple tabs (see next chapter).

each next time the ripening process is started.
