Chapter 3 About Exigo Tool
Exigo tool is a Windows-based PC program for configuration and maintenance of the Exigo series
controllers.
Exigo tool has not been designed with the intention of being a fully fledged SCADA program.
The display window is divided into several parts:
At the top, there is a menu bar with standard Windows type drop-down menus.
Below the menu bar is a toolbar that gives direct access to various functions. All functions in the
toolbar are also accessible through the menu bar system.
Below the toolbar there is a row of folder tabs giving access to several folders that can be shown, one
at a time in the area below the tabs.
At the bottom of the window is the status bar.
This manual will mainly describe the functions of the items in the menu bar and the buttons in the
toolbar. These functions are basically the same for all Exigo applications. Since the contents of the
folders vary depending on which of the programs you are running they will not be covered in detail
in this manual. Use the Exigo manual for reference.

Exigo tool manual Chapter 4 Startup 7
Chapter 4 Startup
The installation program will have placed an Exigo Tool folder in the All programs Regin folder
in the Start menu. This folder contains the link to Exigo Tool.
To start the program, click on the Start button at the lower left corner of the display. Then click on
All programs, the folder Regin, the sub folder EXIGO and finally on the program you wish to run.
To avoid having to go through the Start folder, you can create a shortcut on the desktop by pointing
at the program name, click and hold the left mouse button and drag the program name from the folder
onto the desktop. Release the button and click on "Create shortcut here".
During installation under Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, Exigo Tool is placed under “All apps”, which
can be reached using the Start screen. From here, it is only neccessary to click on the relevant icon to
start the program. It is also possible to create a shortcut to Exigo Tool in the taskbar. To do so, right-
click on the icon and select “Pin to taskbar” from the toolbar visible at the bottom of the screen.
On start-up Exigo Tool will automatically search for any controller connected to the computer and
connect to it if it is of a type suitable to the program being loaded. If no suitable controller is found,
the program will start offline.

8 Chapter 4 Startup Exigo tool manual
Exigo Tool always starts with a box where you enter which controller model you are using. The
Overview folder is also displayed. Make sure that you enter the correct model, or errors may occur in
the control and alarm handling.

Exigo tool manual Chapter 5 Menu bar 9
Chapter 5 Menu bar
The menu bar has five drop-down menus; File, Edit, View, Tools and Help.
5.1 File
These items are used to handle configuration files. The data describing a configuration can be saved
as a file. Any number of different configurations can be saved, the only limit being available disk
space. The files will be saved using the extension .htc and need about 104 kb of disk space. The files
contain only plain text and can be opened using regular editing programs like Notepad or WordPad.
New
New will open a new unnamed file. A box will appear, in which the relevant model of Exigo is
selected. If you are unsure of which model you are using, the article number can be located on the
right-hand (short) side of the controller. Make sure that you choose the correct model. If you load an
incorrect model, unexplainable alarms, etc., may appear, as certain functions not visible in the present
model may be activated.
Open
Opens a saved file.
Save
Saves the current file to disk. If the file is unnamed, you will be prompted for a name.
Save as
Saves the current file to disk using a new name of your choice.
Read only
This item can normally be ignored. Should you for some reason open two instances of the same file
one of them will be marked as Read only to prevent data conflict.
Print
Prints a list showing all the configuration settings of the present file.

10 Chapter 5 Menu bar Exigo tool manual
Exit
Close Exigo tool. If the present configuration is unsaved you will be asked if you wish to save it
before closing.
5.2 Edit
The Edit menu only contains one item:
Delete
Delete is only used in conjunction with holiday periods to remove assigned periods.
5.3 View
The View menu contains one item:
Refresh
Exigo Tool is not a dynamic program, meaning that if a parameter value is changed in a connected
Exigo (such as, for instance, a temperature), the corresponding value in Exigo Tool will not
automatically be updated. Instead, the Exigo Tool user must manually initiate reading of parameter
values from the controller.
Update initiates a reading of all dynamic parameters from the connected controller. The display is
updated with the new values.
When you change between display tabs, an update is automatically initiated.
Alternatively, the Update button in the toolbar (see Toolbar below) or the F5 key on the computer
keyboard can be used.
You can choose to auto refresh pictures with dynamic values, i.e. an automatic activation of the F5
update function at settable intervals. See section Options.
