From left to right they are Play, Stop, Repeat and Load. The controls that are enabled will
depend on what the software is doing, for example, it is not possible to do anything with the
player controls whilst the software is acquiring data from the Gemini head, nor is it possible
to open a file whilst another file is already playing.
Play Button
The Play button is a play/pause control for the file player. When the data from
a file is loaded but not playing, the image is a green triangle.
Clicking the image will start the file playing and the image will change to a
Pause control (two vertical lines).
Clicking the image again will pause the file replay and the image will change back to the Play
control (triangle).
Stop Button
The Stop button stops file replay and resets the play progress to the start.
Repeat Button
If the Repeat button is active and the player reaches the end of the file it is
playing, it will return to the start of the file and continue. Clicking the Repeat
button will alternate between the repeat being active and inactive.
Load Button
When the Load button is pressed, the software will open a file selector to allow
the user to select a previously recorded data file to be replayed. To replay the
data recorded at 4:30:02pm on 18th October 2014, file selector would look like
this and the file 163002_IMG.ecd should be selected.
Multiple files may be selected in the file selection dialogue. The software will attempt to replay
the log files in sequential order according to filename. Replay order is not guaranteed if the
selected files are from different dates.
When replaying a log file, the filename, together with the date and time of recording, will be
displayed at the bottom of the screen (below the Gemini data) in green text, for example:
