Figure 6-1VUE-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.
