NOTE: This documentation relates to an earlier version of the APM / Lab 50 software.

Visit the current documentation home.

By default the APM Dock station names the Docks as Tablet 1, Tablet 2, and Events.

There is a way customize them by simply changing the text between the <id>.... </id> for each tablet in the file.

What is best is to identify by APM ID or another unique identifier, using 9 or less characters.

In the example Below we will change the names Tablet 1 and Tablet 2 to APM IDs 95101 and 95103.

  1. Once you have made you changes using the guidelines and example below save the file.
  2. Then open it in Internet Explorer to verify that the formatting is correct.
  3. If there are any errors, in the formatting, retrace your work, fix the settings and save the file.
