The Result View
The result view is the table which is drawn in the main dialog window of
the OPERA™ Control Center (see Figure 4.1). It presents the contents of the
result file which was created during the measurement. You may drag the
columns with the mouse in order to change their sequence, and you may
modify the sort order by clicking into the heading of any column.
Please note that between column 6 and 7 there is border which splits the
table into two parts. Since the first six rows are used for grouping the rows,
you are not allowed to drag a column from the left part of the table to the
right part and vice versa.

The Result File
During the measurement, the results are written in the file that is shown in
the title bar of the main dialog window. As a default, the results are stored in
c:\programme\opera\databases\results.txt
. This is the file which is opened
every time when you start the OPERA™ Control Center.
If you want to open another result file, choose the menu option
File|Open
.
To create a new result file, select the menu option
File|New
. You may, as
well, save the current results in another file, therefore select the menu option
File|Save as
. The chosen file will immediately be opened in the result view
of the OPERA™ Control Center.

Freezing Fields
It is also possible to freeze rows and columns by pulling the border line
between the row with the column titles and the results values down with
the mouse, or pulling the left most border line of the table to the right.
Therefore move the mouse near to the corresponding line until the mouse
symbol turns into a little lock symbol. Then you may freeze rows or columns
by holding the left mouse button down and move the mouse until all the
rows or columns that you wish to freeze are selected.
The freezed fields will be depicted olive-colored. For instance, if you have
freezed the first two columns, as shown in Figure 5.1, these columns will
not move while you scroll to the right in the result view.
If you want to "unfreeze" fields, you should move the mouse near to a line
between a freezed and a non-freezed area of the result table. The mouse
symbol will turn into the lock symbol again, and you will be able to select a
new freeze area.
