6.1 OVERVIEW
The main screen contains the interface between the program setup and all of the data acquisition run screens.
When

menu option is selected does the screen update to display the corresponding window. The following
features are available on the main screen:
•
Main menu bar
to access all
COMPASS
menus and functions (see Section 6.2).
•
Status bar
at the bottom of the screen that contains information on the current point in a test and the
status of an operation (see Section 6.3).
•
Run mode display
to indicate the current
COMPASS
run mode (see Section 6.4).
•
Run toolbar
that provides quick access to runtime program displays and functions (see Section 6.5).
•
Control toolbar
that is available on the left of the main screen only in Run DUT and Run molbox
modes (see Section 6.6).
•
Several individual run screens
that are available when running to provide real time data acquisition
information (see Section 6.7).
