3.15.5. Using the Navigation Pane
The navigation pane contains a tree-
like structure showing the contents of
a Docking Station Network. When
you select an option in the navigation
pane, a list of related items appears in
the contents pane on the right. For
example, if you click on Instruments
in the navigation pane, a listing of
instruments configured for use in the
system appears in the contents pane.
At the top of the tree is an option for
DSS, which represents the Docking
Station Server. If you click on the
DSS option, you can see the current
status of IDSs that are currently
running in the Docking Station
Network.
Under the DSS entry are the following
options.
Figure 3-45. Navigation Pane
NOTE:
The
DSS
and
Events
options in the navigation pane can be collapsed and expanded,
similar to file folders in Windows
®
Explorer. If you see a minus sign (-) next to the option, then it
is expanded. If you see a plus sign (+) next to the option, then it is collapsed. You can collapse
or expand the entry by clicking on the minus or plus sign or by double-clicking on the entry. The
Docking Station
and
Instrument
options underneath the
Events
option can also be collapsed
and expanded.
