Show Menu
The main desktop application has four work surfaces available. You can just use one. However, 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 (see page 65 for details on status bar). For each of these four work surfaces, you can define which toolbars are present, and which windows are open. This is easily done by selecting a given work surface, and once in that surface, open/close the windows and toolbars as required. This will not affect what toolbars and windows are open in other windows. Note that the four buttons on the status bar are only correctly available if your screen resolution is set to a minimum of 1280 * 1024. For smaller resolutions, some of the buttons will be off the edge of the display. We always recommend using 1280 * 1024 or larger displays.
The Show menu also lets you individually enable or disable each toolbar. The available toolbars are
Window | main controls for the OmniTek application. It lets you open/close |
| the main operating windows, plus controls a few special purpose |

a small toolbar that lets you change video standard without going | |

| waveform and vectorscope windows, and provides fine detailed |

Cursors | measurement cursors for time and amplitude |
Closed Caption Log | This provides access to logging closed caption data to an XML |

Status bar | at bottom of main window – provides video standard details. |
As a standard ‘Windows’ feature, all toolbars can be moved around on the main toolbar region, or can be undocked from this region. Toolbars can be docked at either the top of bottom of the main application window. It is not possible to dock on the left or right edge.
