Controlling Popup Windows
When a function is accessed from the lower
toolbar that calls for a status window (e.g.
Position or Cursor) the function's popup window
appears on the chart display, directly above its
access button.
Each popup window includes a top area
containing the window's title, an
expand/collapse button and a close button.
To move a window, select the window's title bar, hold down the left key and
then use the trackball to drag the window to the desired new location.
1. To collapse a window click on the button. Only the top toolbar
area of the window appears on the display.
2. To expand a previously collapsed window click on the button.
The control area of the window re-appears.
3. To close a window click on the button. The window is removed
from the display.
ECDIS does not limit the number of popup windows that may be
opened, and certain windows, such as CID pages, may cover a
substantial part of the display. It is therefore important that popup
windows are used appropriately. If no longer required, the windows
should be closed, or the Hide Windows option used.
Show/Hide Windows
To hide all windows currently shown on the chart display, click on the
Show/Hide Menus button in the lower toolbar area .
To restore all previously opened windows click on the Show/Hide Menus
button again. All opened windows are restored to their previous positions
on the display (unless new windows have been opened since the Hide
Menus button was clicked).
