OmniTek 2.3 manual Entering Full Screen Mode, Control Facilities in Full Screen Mode

Entering Full Screen Mode

Full Screen mode can be entered in a number of ways.

Some systems are set up to automatically enter Full Screen mode on Start-up. They can also be configured to be ‘locked’ in Full Screen mode. Both these options may be selected through the Full Screen Configuration dialogue (see page 67).

Full Screen mode can also be entered from Normal mode either by selecting the required view from the Full Screen menu or by pressing the hot-key associated with the required view (also customizable). A list of hot-keys for full screen views is given in the Full Screen Configuration dialogue (see below) It is also possible to select the Full Screen display of a particular application window by taking the Full Screen option from its Window menu.

Another option is press ESCape. From Normal mode, this selects the last full screen view to be displayed. Once in Full Screen mode, you can press ESCape to return to the normal view (unless the system has been configured to lock you into Full Screen mode).

Control Facilities in Full Screen Mode

In Full Screen mode, the displays are controlled through buttons shown at the bottom of the screen. The buttons disappear after a period of inactivity, to keep the display uncluttered in normal use. To make the buttons appear, click anywhere in the button area with the left mouse button.

The buttons shown to the left provide specific control functions for different panes, together with some additional options that are called up by clicking the Misc button. The buttons on the right let you scroll left and right though the list of active full screen views. If you define an additional view, it is automatically added to this list.

The actions associated with the buttons offered in Full Screen mode should be easy to follow when used in conjunction with the description in this User Guide of similarly-named options offered in Normal (Windows) mode.

Suppose you are viewing the above display, which features RGB waveforms. If you wish to switch to YCbCr, click on the button labelled Waveform. The buttons on the left will then be replaced with buttons relating to the waveforms. Click on Colour mode. The buttons are now replaced with buttons showing the list of waveform display modes. Click on YCbCr, and the waveform displayed switches to YCbCr. If you wish to keep this change, click on the disk button in the right-hand set of buttons to save the new full screen view setting.

Once you have called up a set of controls, the left-hand button changes to an arrow button. Clicking on this arrow button switches back to the previous set of buttons, while clicking on the Exit button (‘X’ button) in the right hand set of buttons returns you to the standard Windows display. To return to the same full screen view, simply press the ESCape button on the keyboard. Note: No ‘X’ button is offered where the system has been locked in Full Screen mode.

Note: While the buttons shown in Full Screen mode provide the majority of the controls that are offered for the equivalent windows in Normal (Windows) mode, they don’t cover the full range of possible actions. There may therefore be occasions when you will need to leave Full Screen mode in order to make the setting/selection you require.
