Control Panel
The Control Panel is used to control the test and display status information in
real-time. The connection status of the hardware is shown on top, with a button to
Connect/Disconnect (if no hardware is detected, this button will not be
displayed). The control buttons — Run, Pause, Stop, Save Sigs — duplicate
the items in the Control menu and on the Control toolbar. Config opens the Test
Configuration window. Rec./Stop starts/stops the recording after test runs.
Below the control buttons, information on the state of the test is displayed.
Depending on the test mode, this includes the output level (as a percent) and peak
voltage, the control input peak and RMS level, the target peak and RMS level, and
the elapsed and remaining time.
Right-clicking in the control panel brings up options to display an expanded set of
command buttons and test information. These commands are used to adjust the
operation of the test such as changing the output level. These commands, along
with all of the display fields, will be described in the following chapters on the
specific test modes.
