Bi-stable button (On and Off) Menu button List button
The different type of buttons look very similar and when pressing them, the operator can see
that the button has been pressed.
Button style when pressed Button style when focusing (cursor pointing)
Almost all of the buttons activate their action when they are released after being pressing,
so the operator has the possibility to move the mouse pointer away and not execute their
action even if he already pressed them. The buttons have a focusing function (for more details
regarding the focusing refer to “Focusing function” on page 32).
Labels
Normally the Labels are just indications, placed where important context information is
described, but some of them are editable, and the operator can change their caption or the
value indicated in them. The editable labels can easily be distinguished as they have a frame
and the focusing function (for more details regarding the focusing refer to “The three function
keys on the keyboard” on page 29).
The Normal labels are just indications; they don’t have any frame or focusing function. The
data that they contain can be in two different colors depending on the selected palette and
if the data is static or dynamic. For example: with the day blue palette, around the top side of
the System data area, “Gyro” is written with a dark color, as it’s static (it’s always “Gyro”). Next to
it there is the gyro value, which is in a bright color, as it is dynamic.
When the numerical field shows a ----.— the data is invalid or missing.

Shortcuts
The shortcuts are essentially a shorter way to modify the status of various radar aspects, for
example switching On/Off the ERBL or changing the Orientation mode without having to
enter the main menu and thereafter the respective menu. Passing over the shortcuts with the
mouse pointer, the possible options will appear in the Help line.
Spin buttons
The Spin buttons are similar to labels, but with some important differences. It is possible to
change the displayed value by passing with the mouse pointer over the two horizontal or
vertical arrows.
