SDRuno User Manual
2.4 Workspaces
In SDRuno a workspace is a data set of visibility information (position, size and show/hide status) relative
to all the VRX, Main and Recorder windows used in an instance. The RDS Info window parameters of
each VRX are also saved. Ten workspace memory positions are available in each instance (0
– 9). A
workspace can be renamed. The first time you run SDRuno, the workspace #0 is recalled; its default
name is “Default Workspace”. The last used workspace in a given instance is stored at program exit and
recalled at the next start-up.
3. Getting Started
Here is some information on how to get up and running quickly with SDRuno.
3.1 Creating a workspace
Once you have started SDRuno you can try building a simple test workspace to practice with the
operations involved. Each VRX has a corresponding row of buttons in the main window. From left to right
you have:
-
the VRX number
-
the SP1 button (shows the Main Spectrum window of that VRX)
-
the SP2 button (shows the Aux Spectrum window of that VRX)
-
the RX button (shows the RX Control window of that VRX)
-
the VRX enable/disable button (a small squared coloured button)
Since we have not created another VRX, only the VRX #0 row will be available. Left-click the SP1 button:
the SP1 window will appear, with the default size and position. Now try to resize it: it can be done
grabbing a border edge and dragging (as in usual Windows resize operations) or clicking and dragging the
small button in the left-bottom corner of the window. Right-clicking on that button will pop up a small
preset menu where you can select among some common screen widths. Move the window clicking on the
border (or any other part of the window outside of a control) and dragging.
Now repeat the above operation for SP2 then click RX to open the RX Control window and move it to a
suitable position. If you wish you can also add the RX EX Control to your workspace: to show it click on
the EXW button on the RX Control window. Once you are satisfied with your work you can save the
workspace: click on the workspace name label in the main window (the label that is currently showing
“Default Workspace”), the workspace selection will popup. To store your workspace in one of the ten
positions available click on one of these while pressing the CTRL key.
3.2 Managing Workspaces
In order to manage workspaces you have the following options:
Save
the current windows set to a workspace memory position: popup the workspace menu and Left-Click
to a workspace name while pressing the CTRL key.
Recall
a workspace (making it the current workspace): popup the workspace menu and Left-Click to a
workspace name.
Rename
the current workspace: Right-Click on the workspace name label in the main window, enter the
new name then press Enter to confirm or ESC to abort.
