Option Win: controlling Microsoft® Windows® systems
The option Win enables to use a Microsoft® Windows® system as an XcontrolX slave. You have to install the additional XcontrolX Windows® client program to use this feature.
Installing the software
To install the software you will need approximately 7 MBytes free filesystem space on the Microsoft® Windows® system.
First install XcontrolX on the controlling master computer (Installation).
