Starting VUE-IT

Figure 6-1
VUE-IT workspace.
When VUE-IT is started, you will see a screen similar to the one in Figure
6-1. The window displayed in Figure 6-1 is the basic environment in which
all interactions with VUE-IT take place. There are six key features of this
window that users should be aware of:
1. Menu Bar - This is where the user will find features that are either
integral to VUE-IT or standard in windows. When you see a reference to a
command located under a menu, this is where you should look. Below the
menu names are short-cut buttons that provide access to common
commands via a single mouse click. The buttons are (from left to right):
New Project, Open Project, Save Project, Revert, Scan, Project Manager,
Help, and Exit.
2. Work Space - This is where the QuickMAP, Project Manager,
QuickSET Manager, and component boxes appear. This is the main work
area for the user.
3. General Help - This box displays helpful messages about commands
and functions.
4. Component/Parameter Type - This box displays the name of the
component or parameter selected.
5. Component/Parameter Input Range - This box displays the input
value range for a component or parameter.
6. Online/Offline Status - This box displays the status of the connection
between the ISP-100 and the PC running VUE-IT.
