The Navigation bar
This shows your current navigation position within the application. See the example below of finding yourself in the "Special Functions" section of a K1600GT:
The Navigation pane
This is where all the fun stuff happens - from this pane you control your GS-911 application. See the "Navigating the GS-911 software" section for more details.
The Status bar
The Status bar shows general status. Here you will find continuous feedback. If you are wondering what happened or t seems nothing is happening, see what your status bar says...
The Voltage status and communication indicator
This shows the Battery voltage (Vbat) and Ignition voltage (Vign) as measured by the GS-911 interface on the Diagnostic connector of the motorcycle. It should be noted that not all of the motorcycles have the ignition voltage available on the bike's diagnostic connector. In these cases Vign will show 0.0V.
When there is communication between the interface and the PC, this is shown by a alternately blinking red/green indicator button.
Quick links to information on the website
These point you to the Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.), User Manuals and How-To sections, respectively.
Version and link to Website
Once you have started the GS-911 application, a mere glance at the Contents window shows you what version of the software you are using.
