If you click on a menu to highlight it (in blue), you will see
the relevant settings on the right. You can change the set-
tings, and they are copied to the menu tree when you click
Apply.
The menu item type setting can have one of three values:
Submenu, Channel or Parameter. If a submenu (menu
heading) already contains other items, you will not be able
to change the element type.
The second eld determines what the menu will display. For a submenu, type the name. For chan-
nels and parameters, select one of the channels or parameters from the drop-down list box.
The third eld denes whether channels and parameters are edit-
able, and whether the user has to be logged in to make changes.
You can make channels editable, but there is not much point if they
are connected to an input or other data source or controlled by a
script, controller or graphical program.
Remember to click Apply to make the changes permanent.
There are four buttons for creating new menus. Add Menu creates a
new menu heading at the same level as the highlighted item. Add
Submenu creates a submenu in the highlighted menu.
The Add Channel, Add Parameter, Add Curve and Add Calendar but-
tons create new menu items in the highlighted menu, just below
the highlighted item. The new menu item is created using default
settings. You must always change these settings, then click Apply.
The Erase Selected button deletes the highlighted menu, including
all submenus if there are any.
Controller menus
You are free to change the menus
generated by the controller tool,
but remember that if you make
changes to the controller and
save it, you will overwrite all your
manual changes.
