1 Introduction
The aim of this document is to provide the guidelines to use the Solari application named TFT MANAGER. The goal of TFT MANAGER application is to build and manage the time rules necessary to switch-off and switch-on the lamps of all the TFT devices installed in an I.D.S. (Information Display System), in order to safeguard the lifetime of each device.

GROUPS

FIG.2 : GROUPS FORM

Pressing GROUPS button the form printed in FIG.2 will be displayed. The user has the possibility to create, delete or modify groups, using the GROUP NAME combo box. What is a group ? A group is a logical subdivision for one or more TFT devices with the same switch on-off time rules. For example in an airport application we can consider all gate TFT devices belonging to the group GATES, all the check-in TFT devices belonging to the group CHECK-IN etc. Splitting the TFT devices in different groups can be helpful because the application is designed to define a single switch on-off time rule that can be automatically assigned to all TFT devices belonging to the same group (see chapter 2.3.2).
