2.3 Menus
The operating characteristics of the
ANT-5 are controlled by sets of
hierarchical menus which can be
displayed or hidden by pressing
Alt+Menu (press Menu whist holding
down the Alt key). The highest level
of the menu structure is represented
by a bar at the top of the screen with
one choice highlighted. The System
menu is shown here as an example.
Lower levels in the menu structure are
displayed as cascaded lists which
appear beside their parent menus.
Use the direction keys to move the highlight around each menu and then press Enter
to either select an item or to display the next menu level in a similar way. Press Esc to
close the current menu and move up one level.
When the setup menus are hidden and then displayed again, the same level will be
shown if it is valid to do so. If a test is running, the application will not update the
displayed backdrop while a menu is displayed in the foreground.
2.4 Message boxes
Message boxes pop-up in front of any other screen contents in the middle of the
screen and are used to verify certain actions by the user. The message box contains
labelled buttons which should be ‘pressed’ to carry out the action (use the directional
keys to highlight the appropriate button and then press the Enter key to operate it).
The box will remain on the screen until a key associated with one of the buttons is
pressed or until one of the default keys Enter or Esc is pressed. Enter is used to
accept the highlighted choice and Esc is used to cancel the message box without
accepting any choice.
2.5 LED and on-screen indicators
The top portion of the screen is used by the tester application to simulate LED
indicators on-screen in order to display information which is relevant to the current
setup of the application. The behaviour of the on-screen LEDs can be set to be
latching or non-latching in the LEDs section of the System menu, which can be
displayed by pressing the Alt + Menu key at any time. For further details See Section
4.24, On-Screen LED Indicators.
