Appendix B — Software basics and installation
Navigating the software interface
Familiarity with Windows® and basic computer skills is assumed. For operators unfamiliar
with Window®, the following texts might be helpful.
• Liming, Sean D, “Windows XP Embedded Advanced,” October 2003.

Working with the Baker AWA-IV software requires that the user be comfortable using
multiple windows, a variety of keyboard commands, and a pointing device (mouse). To
enhance navigation, hot keys (keyboard shortcuts and toolbars) have been added to the
programs.
On the Baker AWA-IV, one window may serve several purposes. For example, the Motor Tree
View window shows the motor tree and also allows use of Routes and access to the Route
Editor.
Selecting items
As with most modern computer interfaces, the common way to select an item is to point at
the item with the pointer device (mouse) and double-click with the left button while holding
the device still. In many cases, a single click will not select an item, but will highlight it. The
appearance of highlighted and selected items varies depending on the screen design.
Another method of selection applies to menu labels that have an underlined character. For
example, on the menu bar, the File menu has an underlined F. Use the Alt key and the
underlined key (F) together to perform the same function as a mouse click on the menu
option. When Alt-F is typed, the File dropdown menu appears.
Shading
The shading of the images on the various screens of the programs is significant. Gray shaded
fields are generally non-editable. When a field has a white background with black text, it is
editable.
Buttons
Square and rectangular buttons with labels supply commands to the Baker AWA-IV. For
example, look at the Nameplate window to see the Add, Update , and Del buttons. Small
square buttons such as the one next to Edit Test ID field in the Tests tab are called check
boxes. They display a checkmark when active. Round buttons called, radio buttons, fill with
black when active; radio buttons begin tests in semi-automatic mode.
Text fields
Areas that can have text typed into them are called text fields. To edit text fields, click in them
and then type. Some text fields require information and others do not. Your will be prompted
to enter missing information required by the Baker AWA-IV if a necessary field has been left
blank.
