Panel Settings
Settings for tests and measurements are made using several different
controls on the panels:
§
Setting fields , which come in several versions:
Ÿ
A Windows text box, in which you can directly enter a value from
the keyboard.
Ÿ
A Windows drop-down list box, from which you can make a
selection of a fixed number of choices.
Ÿ
A combination text box with an added drop-down list from which
you can choose the units to express your value.
Setting fields display black characters on a white field, except when
an EQ waveform is selected, when the generator amplitude fields
show blue text
.
§
Check boxes , which allow you to set non-exclusive conditions.
§
Option buttons , which provide for exclusive conditions.
§
Browser buttons , which open Windows browsers. These allow you to
navigate lists of options, search for a file by browsing through a
hierarchy of folders, and so on. Browser buttons are identified by the
ellipsis mark ( … ).
§
Custom buttons , which have a special function, such as GO, ON,
OFF, and so on.
§
Sliders , with which you can continuously adjust a value. Sliders are
found on Bar-Graph panels and the Volume Bar. Sliders can be
operated by the mouse pointer or the arrow keys.
Panel Readings
Results of tests or measurements are called readings , which ATS-2 can
display in several ways:
§
Reading fields , sometimes called meters . Reading fields come in two
variations, with and without a drop-down list to select units. Reading
fields display green characters on a black field.
§
Status indicators , which show the presence or absence of a condition
by a small colored rectangle.
§
Bar-graphs , which display values as a continuous colored bar, like a
conventional analog meter.
