The User Interface
The user interface is presented on a touch-sensitive, color
screen. You navigate the interface by tapping the touch-
sensitive targets with the supplied stylus.
This section describes the layout of the user interface and
describes the elements that appear on some or all of the
screens. Suggestions are also provided to help you locate
screens and navigate your way around.
Screen Layout
The display screen is divided into two main areas:
•
A preview pane (on the left), which provides an
overview or summary of information for the item
that is selected in the right (main) pane. The preview
pane may also have hyperlinks (displayed in blue
text) that link to other screens in the user interface.
•
A main pane (on the right), which provides detailed
information, such as test results, graphs, and status
information.
Title Bar
The title bar is the horizontal area at the top of every
screen that shows the name of the screen that is currently
displayed.
In the upper-left corner, the title bar contains the
EtherScope Master Menu icon. This icon displays a menu
that lists all of the “details” screens.
Selection Indicator
When you select an item, it is highlighted in a contrasting
color to let you know that it is selected. When you first
display a screen, the default selection is always
highlighted.
