Starting Up the Software
Touchscreen Operation of the Software
The color touchscreen allows you to operate the software by touching the
buttons on the screen. If a mouse has been connected to the instrument,
you may select buttons by clicking. When software functions require data
input from a keyboard, the software automatically displays a virtual
keyboard operated through the touchscreen. Data may also be entered
using a USB- connected keyboard.
Home Screen
Shortly after turning on the instrument, the touchscreen displays the
Home screen. This screen is the starting point for all the
software- controlled instrument operations as well as file and account
management. Each navigation button on the Home screen menu takes you
to a different functional area in the software.
The table below describes the function associated with each navigation
button on the Home screen:
