The Configurations menu item brings up a menu that has options for creating a new configuration ( New
Config ), loading a user-generated configuration ( Load Config ), unloading the current configuration ( Unload
Config ), saving the current configuration ( Save Config ), or saving the current configuration with a new name
( Save Config As ). Similar to text files, configurations can be loaded, edited and saved. You can read more
about editing configurations in section 5. If you want to recover a previous version of a user configuration,
use the
Load Config option to look for a config with "_backup" appended onto the end of its name. After you
load a backup configuration, you should immediately use Save Config As to rename it (making sure to
delete the "_backup" part of the name). The Print Selected Pages and Print All Pages menu items allow you
to print your configuration (one page on each sheet of paper). If you select Print Selected Pages , you will
be offered a chance to select individual pages for printing. Note that the Print menu items are only available
on the PC Editor, not on the Palmtop device itself.
The final item listed in the File menu is Exit . Selecting this will cause the Palmtop software to shut down.
Note: You will not be able to exit the program if it is in Dedicated Device mode, or if you have an
Impact-D device.
4.1.2. View Menu
The View menu lets you alter the general appearance and layout of the Palmtop window itself - not the
configuration that is running in the window.
The first item in the View menu is used to toggle between two different modes of operation called Run Mode
and Edit Mode:
• Run Mode is used when you are using Palmtop as a communication device.
• Edit Mode is used when you want to change the appearance or behavior of particular buttons or
pages.
For more information on the two modes, see section 5. When you are in Run Mode, the menu item says Go
to Edit Mode , allowing you to switch the mode. Likewise, when you are in Edit Mode, the menu item says Go
to Run Mode .
The second menu item is used to lock or unlock the current configuration. Locking a configuration keeps a
user from changing the operation or appearance of the buttons. If the configuration is currently unlocked, the
menu item says
Lock Config . If it is currently locked, the menu item says Unlock Config . For more
information on locking and unlocking configurations, see section 5.7.
The Page Editing menu item will display a sub-menu of commands related to creating and modifying pages
within a configuration. This option is only available when you are in Edit Mode. See section 4.1.2.1 for a full
description of the
Page Editing menu.
If you have trouble seeing the individual buttons on the screen, the zoom mode can help you by magnifying
the part of the screen that you are interested in. You can turn zoom mode on and off by choosing the
Zoom
Mode menu item. Details of magnification are provided in section 4.4.3.
For some configurations, you may not want to have a visible Editor Window. You can toggle the display of
this window by selecting the
Main Editor menu item. Even when the Editor Window is not showing, the
message you produce will still be entered into the Editor Window - it just will not be visible until the Editor
Window is displayed again.
