is displayed on the CN8-SW window in gray instead of black. If a keyboard shortcut is
available for a function, the shortcut appears on the menu to the right of the function

The contents of the .MCS file determine what controllers appear on the main display. The ability to
create, save, and open a variety of .MCS files enables you to create displays that do not include all the
controllers on the network hosted by the PC. For example, if Operator A is only interested in Controllers
1, 2, and 9, you can create an .MCS file that would cause the CN8-SW display to show only those
controllers when Operator A uses that file. Operator B could use a different .MCS file to see a different
custom display, one containing only Controllers 3, 4, 6, and 9, for example.
