Three-part Scanning System

Object Identification

Hovering the mouse cursor over any icon in the Syngo interface will bring up its title automatically.

In order to scan, three computer parts are used in sync; one to scan, one to assemble scan images, one to interpret, manipulate the collected images. A problem addressed at its source computer will be repaired more quickly. View here to check status of an error

"Right-Clicking"

Clicking the right button the mouse face will bring up a special options menu at any time. This is often the fastest way to execute many common operations (e.g., copy a selection or reference, delete a selection, obtain useful information about a selection ).

Syngo "Help"

The Syngo "Help" interface is an extensive resource for all kinds of problems and questions. One can navigate "Help" by browsing or entering a question directly. Select the "Help" Menu on the top of the screen for access.

Zoom or Recenter Images

Click and hold the mouse button on a point inside an image to recenter the image on that point. If you select a point in the outer 25% of the image, click-and-hold will activate zooming controls.

The Scanning Queue

Don't drag a protocol into the queue box it is ready to be executed. If incomplete, the item will not run properly, and it may be difficult to make changes while an object is in the queue box.

 

Window: Appear - Disappear

On the side toolbar, clicking an item once will make the window appear. Click the item a second time to make it disappear.
