Overview Tab
The Overview tab is shown in Figure 15. It provides a high level view of GALAXY processor settings. The basic input and
output settings can be modified by clicking, entering new values, or click-dragging controls. Many of the graphic elements
are shortcuts to other tabs or open dialogs: Input Processing, Summing Matrix, Output Processing, Product Integration
Dialog, and Atmospheric Correction Dialog.
The dialog to adjust Product Integration settings can be accessed by clicking on the Product Integration indicator for each
output. See Appendix C, “Product Integration.”
Projects Tab
GALAXY processor project files can be saved by the Compass Control Software to the client computer. Project files
contain all of the Snapshots stored in the processor and all of the current control point values.
A Snapshot contains all of the control point values of a processor when a Snapshot is created. The GALAXY processor can
store up to 255 Snapshots in the Snapshot Library.
The relationship between the GALAXY processor and Compass is server/client: the GALAXY processor is the server,
Compass the client. When a computer is connected to a GALAXY processor, the Compass Control Software reads and
displays the current state of all control points and the list of Snapshots stored in the GALAXY processor. However, opening
another GALAXY Project file (stored on the computer) will overwrite the Snapshot Library and, if selected, the current device
settings.
Compass also has a Virtual mode that is selectable from the Inventory tab. This mode allows a user to work on a project file
without being connected to real GALAXY processor hardware. In effect, Compass is connecting to a virtual GALAXY server.
