Conguring a TaskBy clicking on the “+” symbol in the task area, a new task is created and selected.
A new task is created with an empty meline.
The program procedure will then be created, in which apps are moved using Drag-
and-Drop from the App Area (3) into the Timeline Area (2) to the desired posion.
The execuon takes place from le to right.
Apps may be removed from the meline by dragging an app from the meline
areas back into the app area. Re-arrangement of the task using Drag-and-Drop is
equally possible.
Groups
One parcular variant of apps are so-called Groups, such as, for example, Paern,
Repeat or Relave. In contrast to normal apps, which implement certain funcon-
alies, Groups modify the execuon and teaching behavior of those apps con-
tained within them. Firstly, a Group is dragged into the meline area. Thereaer,
other apps may be dragged into these. The “Repeat” Group executes, for example,
all the apps contained in them repeatedly according to the Group conguraon.
Groups such as “Paern” or “Points” allow the execuon of the same app repeat-
edly at dierent points.
Hand mode: In this mode, the ngers of the Hand can be steered via the direc-
onal buons of the Pilot’s Disc:
• keep the “le” buon pressed to slowly open the Hand
• keep the “right” buon pressed to slowly close the Hand
• press the “down” buon once to open the Hand to full width
• press the “up” buon once to make the Hand grasp something, meaning that
it closes around a grasped object and holds it with its holding force.
Desk mode: using the direcon buons on the disc of the Pilot you can navigate
in Desk and the context menus of Apps in the meline.
