GUI Menu Summary
The various menus in the L-8 GUI are outlined below.
File – the File menu contains items for setting a password and for exiting the program:
• Set Password... – Used to set a password that will need to be entered to operate the
L-8 GUI – when first installed the GUI requires no password – to set a password
you must enter the current password and then enter the new password twice (the
second to confirm the password)
• Exit – Used to exit the L-8 GUI
View – the View menu is used to show or hide certain sections of the L-8 GUI or to
change the GUI appearance:
• Devices – Used to show or hide the Devices Pane (see page 2-3)
• System Info – Used to show or hide the System Info Pane (see page 2-3)
• Stylized – Used to toggle the L-8 GUI between a modern appearance and a more
traditional one
WheatNet-IP System – The WheatNet‑IP System menu is used to manage signal sets
within the L-8 GUI:
• File Open... – Used to open a saved signal set
• File Save... – Used to save the current signal set
• System Scan... – Used to scan the system to which the L-8 GUI is connected to
get a list of all signals currently available in the system (see page 2-4) – this set
can then be saved using File Save... and then later recalled using File Open... even
if the L-8 is not connected to the system at that time
Hardware – The Hardware menu is used to set up devices in respect to connecting to
them and managing their configuration and software:
• Add New Device... – Used to set up a new L-8 for the GUI to communicate with
(see page 2-3) – brings up a dialog box to set a name, device type, and IP address

L-8 using a similar dialog box
• Remove “Selected Device”... – Used to delete the highlighted L-8 from the list

L-8 – this information may be needed in the event that Wheatstone Technical Sup-
port needs to be contacted about the L-8
• Update... – Used to change the software version of the currently connected L-8
• Reboot... – Used to reboot the currently connected L-8 – this is used primarily
after doing a software update – a confirm dialog allows you to change your mind.
