3.2 C3 MAESTRO CONSOLE APPLICATION AND UDS CONFIGURATOR PROGRAM
The C3 Maestro console application and its User-Definable Screen (UDS) Configurator program are composed of many
different software program files, initialization (configuration) files, database files, etc. These two software applications are
distributed and installed separately as described later in this manual.
All console-related program icons are located in a common Windows NT program group titled
C3 Maestro Console for Windows NT”. If the UDS Configurator program software is installed, this program group also
contains two (2) UDS Configurator icons. When minimized, this common program group’s icon appears within Program
Manager as follows:
Table 3-1 which follows lists all C3 Maestro-related files which are required to run the console application using
Windows NT. The Windows NT operating system files are not listed except those system files which are directly related to
the console and/or UDS Configurator software. With the exception of the UDS Configurator program-related files, these files
are installed on the PC’s hard disk drive at the factory; UDS Configurator program software factory installation is optional.
Console application files are also distributed on 3½-inch floppy disks with the console’s equipment package for customer re-
installation purposes, if ever required. Since the UDS Configurator program is sold separately, it is distributed on a separate
3½-inch floppy disk. See section 5.2 in this manual (page 16) for software installation details.
