User Interface
NOTE: The user interface depicted in this manual is based on the operation of software version 1.15.
The screens shown on the touchscreen display have a number of different elements called
controls
to allow control of
the ATS-5X. The controls are similar to standard Microsoft Windows© control elements, such as buttons and selection
lists (see Figure 5).
Figure 5 – Sample Display
Interaction with the display controls is straightforward with the touchscreen or USB mouse. Using the keypad or USB
keyboard requires that controls be
selected
first prior to controlling them.
The various touchscreen displays have a number of common control elements that are used to setup the ATS-5X for
measurements. Interaction with the controls using the touchscreen or USB mouse is straightforward; however, most
actions using the keypad and USB keyboard require a control to be selected first.
