FactoryWizTV Application



Product Name:        Flipper

Type:                        Windows Application

Framework:            .Net 4.0

Current Version:    24.1.0.0



Purpose              


To rotate different applications at a set interval on a single display. This application is ideal if you would like to display multiple application but only have the one screen available. 

Instructions


To add applications to flipper, click the 2 dot button in the new application group box and locate your application you want flipper to launch and rotate. If there are any parameters, add these to the arguments field. Then set the time interval in seconds for how long the application will be displayed before rotating. Repeat this step for each application.

Once you have added all of the applications you wish to rotate, click TURN ON.

Once flipper has launched the applications, if the applications are fulls green it can be tricky to reach flipper to stop it. To do this, wait for a screen rotation, click the windows button on your keyboard, then click the red TURN OFF button to stop flipper.

Notes


If the application you are launching has parameters, you can pass these in on with the arguments fields, for example most FactoryWiz applications allow you pass in which group you would like to see.

If you automatically start this application from the windows startup folder you might need to alter the registry if the screens do not rotate. See this article.
