OmniTek 2.3 manual Show Menu, Window Layouts and Snapshots

Message Boxes

The Preferences menu also lets you control the display of message boxes in response to error conditions. Message boxes that currently may be displayed are ticked. Clearing the tick disables that particular message box. Ticking an option re-enables a message that has been disabled.

Window Layouts and Snapshots

Window Layouts

It is possible to load and save window layouts used in Normal mode. These layouts only save the size, position, and status of each window, so engineering settings like video format are unchanged when a saved window layout is loaded.

Window Snapshots

Selecting the Save all snapshots option causes snapshots to be taken of the current contents of every open window and saved on disk. The format in which each window is saved depends on the type of information displayed. Waveform and Vector Scope windows are saved as bitmap images, while the Data View window is saved as a text file. Note: It is also possible to save individual windows using the Save snapshot selection available in the Options menu on that window.

Note: The snapshots are taken using standard Windows mechanisms and so cannot be guaranteed to relate to the same frame.

Show Menu

The Show menu affects some general aspects of the OmniTek display when operating in the Normal (Windows) mode. Note: Some of the toolbar options are only present if certain modules are present.

Pages

The main desktop application offers four work surfaces, referred to as Pages 1

–4. You may just use one – but, if preferred, you can split the various windows amongst the four work surfaces, which may help to keep an uncluttered screen. The Show menu gives access to the four different pages, although you can also use the four buttons available on the bottom right-hand side of the Status Bar (described on page 10).

For each work surface, you can define which toolbars are present, and which windows are open. This is easily done by selecting a given page, and once on that page, open/close windows and toolbars as required. This will not affect which toolbars and windows are open on the other pages.

Toolbars

The Show menu also lets you individually enable or disable each toolbar associated with the main application window. The available toolbars are

Window	The main controls for the OmniTek application. Icons on this
	toolbar let you open/close the main operating windows, plus
	provide controls for a few special-purpose features.
Run	Provides the transport controls for sequence playout (only
	included if the Motion-Capture option is present)
Source	Displays the main router controls. Where the system includes
	the Motion-Capture option, you can separately select the source
	for the analyser, the source for the monitoring output, and the
	source for the serial output.
Video-Standard	A small toolbar that lets you select a different video standard
	without going into the main Engineering Settings control window.
