Status Bar

At the bottom of the main application window, there is a status bar.

The currently selected video format is display. Note that this may not reflect the standard of a video source connected to the unit.

The status of the analog reference, and the serial input are then displayed. The items are colour coded to indicate status. If the colour is orange/brown, then the item listed is incorrect in some fashion, but is not being used. If the colour is red, then it is incorrect, and is being used. If green, then it is OK.

The current colour space mode for waveform display is also indicated. This will be YUV or RGB parade, or YUV or RGB component. This choice is independent of the format of the serial video data.

The waveform mode is indicated. This can be All line, single line, or frame view. Finally the current selection from the four available work surfaces is indicated.

At the very right hand is a little field interrupt indicator. This spins during normal operation, indicating field interrupts are being processed. It will stop during certain operations, such as loading files from disk.

Miscellaneous Features

OmniTek XR contains a variety of minor features all designed to make the product more useful and easy to use. Some of these are described here.

Window sizes

The size of all of the windows is related to the video standard. If you position and size the windows in a given standard, then they may well be too small or too large in the new standard. If you right click on many of the windows, then a menu appears with a resize to fit option. Select this, and the window will become the minimum size to suit the data being displayed.

Size and Position Snap

By default, windows will be set to ‘jump’ if they are sized or moved. This works as if the windows are magnetic, so a window placed near another one will jump to line up with the edge of the other window. This is not a jump to grid function. This mode of operation can be confusing sometimes, and if you wish to position a window adjacent to two others, it may be necessary to move one away whilst the move is taking place, and to put it back afterwards. By right clicking on a window, you get an option to disable this magnetic jumping function, so that windows can be moved to any position, regardless of what is nearby. If you subsequently use the menu to enable the magnetic jumping feature, then this will only take effect next time you move/size the window – it won’t affect the current size and position.

‘Shift’ Keyboard Shortcuts

At any time you may press and hold the ‘Shift’ key. A small menu appears providing immediate access to some common functions. The menu disappears when either a function is activated, or the Shift key is released. Of particular use, Shift-E immediately opens the Engineering dialogue.

The other particularly useful ‘Shift’ shortcut, is Shift-P, which opens the Presets configuration dialogue.
