The user's manual is well-written, and contains numerous examples and excellent illustrations. While some of OpalisRobot's event timer settings were confusing, we were very pleased with the overall performance and usability of the product. OpalisRobot isn't inexpensive, but it costs a lot less than the salaries you'll pay your staff to hang around and make certain that time-sensitive tasks are completed. If you manage a large NT network, we recommend adding OpalisRobot 3.6 to your tool kit.
