00:00:07 hello I'm Kevin hall with the Escala we're here at Bab tech 2019 and this this year we're exhibiting our compass software which is a very highly customizable g-code application that OMS can configure to provide a very highly customized solution for their end users we're looking at your scalloped this Auto screen right now as we're running apart and as I said it's highly
00:00:30 configurable and we're showing four different panels right now we can see the position panel in the upper left where we have configured to see the XYZ and the extruder position we can look at the machine or the work coordinates or the distance to go in any one move just above that we're looking at the feed rate override panel or we can change the speed on the fly over at the upper right
00:00:58 we can see the g-code file of the part that we're printing scrolling past and down in the lower left region we see some customized panels for the 3d printing process so we're looking at the extruder temperatures and the fan speed settings as an OEM you can customize compass by going into the customization mode let's take a look at how we can customize the compass layout and right
00:01:22 now we are in customized mode we can customize the zones we can select how many zones we want on the screen right now we're looking at six zones we could reduce that to two within each of those zones we can select what widget or plugin we'd like to see in that region so let's pick an analog control button you could add several of these if we
00:01:54 like to so we could fill the entire zone with those type of controls and then we can furthermore go in there to the panel configuration itself and further configure the attributes of that panel that are selectable OMS can configure not only the graphical screen components but also they can customize some motion works IEC template to provide a very
00:02:24 highly customized solution for their end users you
