# Basic usage

Your Pulse controller includes a touchscreen display which runs bespoke software with a user-friendly interface. The software is used to manage all aspects of the controller as well as any connected air receivers.

## Onscreen keyboard

Whenever you are required to enter data into an input field, an onscreen keyboard will popup so that you can type in letters, numbers and punctuation in the same way you would on a standard computer keyboard.

For text based input fields, the keyboard will have a standard QWERTY layout:

For numerical input fields, the keyboard will have a numeric keypad style layout:

## Status bar

A status bar is always displayed at the top of the screen, and provides important information about the controller's current state. It also provides simple navigation buttons that allow you to go back to the previous screen or return to the main menu.
