Using the MCU Interface
Once the Computer has been rebooted, you should see the WinOnOff icon down on the bottom
right of the Windows taskbar, near the time.
This is the interface software that sends out MCU commands out to the Pinsetters to turn on the
lanes via the MCU. There is nothing that need to be done by the operator in order to achieve this, it will
occur automatically whenever the software is running. The interface MUST be running in order for the Pinsetters to
turn on and off.
