System Default Font
On the host computer, a display settings default larger than 100% will cause some data on the PCT to be
displayed incorrectly. Data will be cut off or not fit in the defined area. This setting is provided as part of
the Control Panel settings on the host computer (see Make text and other items larger or smaller).

PCT Levels of Operation
The PCT has three operating levels: Isolated from the ProTech-GII (Off-Line), Test Level (On-Line),
Config Level (On-Line).
Once installed on a PC and connected to a ProTech-GII module, the PCT is used at the various operating
levels to:
ï‚· Change overspeed and over-acceleration functionality settings
ï‚· Save configuration settings to a file
ï‚· Upload configuration settings
ï‚· Download configuration settings
ï‚· Download and/or view log files
Off-Line Operation
When the PCT is disconnected from the ProTech-GII, the PCT operates off line. When used as such:
ï‚· A communication link between the PC and a ProTech-GII module is not required.
ï‚· A password is not required.
ï‚· The PCT is used to create, modify, or compare a Settings File.
