Toolbar and Status Bar, Part 2
There are icons for faster and easier access in the toolbar at the top of the screen. The first six icons are, in fact, the same as the "View" menu and the "Unit" field which are available at this page too.
The "Time in Second" and "Time in Cycle", "Relative Values" and "Absolute Values", and "Primary Values" and "Secondary Values" icons are used to select the time in seconds or cycles, to specify the values in relative or absolute values and to specify whether the values entered are primary or secondary, respectively.
By clicking on the "New Room" icon, a new window opens on the test page. If you hold this icon down by the "Control" key and then click on one of the rooms, a separate room opens without closing the current room.
By clicking on the "Open" icon, a saved test file opens. If the user wishes to search for a file with a specific extension, they can click on this icon and then select the desired room. After that, they can search among the saved files in the selected room.
Also, the “Save” icon, saves the test file. These icons show the different windows on the “Sequencer” page.
In this section, you can see the “Report View”, “Test Object” and “Hardware Configuration” icons. By clicking on any of these icons, the user is referred to the respective page.
By using the "Number of Decimal Places Setting" icon, it is possible to specify the number of integers and decimal digits displayed by the software as well as the quantity of that unit.
By using the "Static Output" icon, it is possible to specify that the device will only inject the values of a "State" (a selected "State"). The icons in this section are used to "Stop", "Start", and "Clear Test", respectively.
The phrase "Ready to Connect" means that the software is ready to connect to the device. The "Refresh" icon disconnects and connects the connection one more time to fix any existing problem with the test.
This row of the toolbar is only for the "Sequencer" room. If there are several "State"s, it is possible to select the desired "State" by using these icons and even jump to the first or last "State". By using these icons, it is possible to select the first, previous, next and last "State", in the mentioned order.
The "New State", "Delete State", "Copy Before", "Copy After" icons are used to create a new "State", delete an existing "State", create a "State" similar to the previous "State", and create a "State" similar to the next "State", respectively.
The "Insert Z shot" icon creates three "State"s as an impedance test. The "Select File to Merge" icon inserts the "State"s of other saved files in this room and adds them to the "State"s existing in the file. By using the "Copy & Paste State" icon, it is possible to copy a "State" and "Paste" it somewhere else.
By clicking on the "Copy & Paste State", a new page opens with the same name. Then, the desired "State" is selected from the list and in the "Options for Paste" section, the location for pasting and its number are specified and, finally, "Ok" is clicked.
The "Correct Name of State" icon restores the default name of "State"s in case they have been changed. By clicking on the "All State" icon, the waveform of all the "State"s is displayed in "Signal View".
If the user only wants the current "State" to be displayed, they should click on the "Current State" icon. Of course, the "Current State" has other uses too, especially in transient state testing which will be explained in the future video tutorials.
The next icon shows the status of receiving the binary signals from the inputs of the device in case they are enabled. The icons in the status bar show the status of the voltage and current ports. If there is something wrong during the test with any of the ports, the corresponding icon in this section turns red.
The phrase "St. Cond. "Immed" indicates the start time of the test, run by the user, which can be displayed instantaneously after clicking on "Start", in accordance with receiving signals from the binaries or the "GPS" clock time.
The phrase "CT: Dir. Line" indicates the location of the "CT" on the line which can be on the "Line" side or on the “Bus bar" side. This is important in tests such as "Distance" when injecting current.
The phrase "Running Room: Noun" indicates which room of the software is running the test. Also, this figure shows the connection status of the device.
In the case of connecting to several devices at the same time, from this section, it is possible to specify that to which "AMT" device should this room be connected for performing the test.
