Lookout Basics
This chapter explains how to start and get around within Lookout.
Basically, you use the mouse, keyboard, touch screens, and similar tools to
manipulate controls on Lookout control panels. Most of what you do is as
simple as throwing a switch or adjusting a control knob.
Some operations require you to use Lookout menu items, covered in
Chapter 3, Lookout Runtime Menu Commands.
For specific information regarding the processes you are using, consult
your Lookout administrator.
