Ellipse Management
The Ellipse front panel interface provides access to all encoder control parameters, while the
Ellipse Web Manager interface allows easy access to the same parameters from a remote
computer. Therefore, these two interfaces are intertwined in the description provided by this
manual.
Each interface is menu structured in a root up tree structure, described in the following
paragraphs and detailed in the following chapters.
