-  * DSP style pendant should be disabled if the controller is used with a screen. This setting, when set to PHB-04B disables a number of on-screen buttons as well as blocks a few of the pendant commands. It is recommended to keep this setting disabled unless strictly necessary, as it is designed for a purely pendant-oriented interface.
+  * DSP style pendant should be disabled if the controller is used with a screen (enabled ONLY if the controller is using a PHB-04B pendant WITHOUT any monitor). This setting, when set to PHB-04B, disables a number of on-screen buttons as well as reassigns a number of the pendant button commands to a custom build. This allows for an emulation of a DSP style controller system, which eliminates the need for the monitor and is well suited for simple production runs which require limited settings changes or system configurations. It is recommended to keep this setting disabled unless strictly necessary, as it is designed for a purely pendant-oriented interface (on a system entirely without a monitor).
   * The Device List lists the available devices, while the libUSB Debug information lists the messages that the pendant sends to the computer:

 | Tie Toolpath Position to current work position | Used on control programs with a large number of parts, this allows to tie the toolpath position to the current work position. Effectively, this allows to cut out a small part of the control program anywhere on the sheet, by simply specifying the position of the toolpath - extremely useful for small remainders of metal sheets which can still fit one of the parts of a larger control program file. |
 | Toggle Machine/Work DRO (if applicable) | A setting for pendants which only show one coordinate system at a time (machine or program coordinate). This allows to switch between the two coordinate systems - used only on select controllers. |
