Spider DSA User’s Manual

Basic EDM User Interface
EDM, or Engineering Data Management, is the desktop software that works with
all Crystal Instruments front-end hardware.
When EDM Spider-DSA starts up in real-time working mode, it presents a Start
Page from which a recent test can be opened, previous tests can be searched
through and new tests can be created. This is a convenient starting point for most
EDM operations.
Figure 34: EDM Start Page
The start page has four sections: Recent Tests, which allows quick access to
recently used tests; Create a New Test, for creating a new test of the selected type;
Account Login to change the current user account; and Connection Status which
lists all detected front-end devices on the network. There is also a Search button
to find a specific test in the database.
If the License Key only enables the Spider function, then the only available test
option will be the FFT Spectral Analysis.
The Spider real-time mode uses a traditional menu and toolbar interface. The
toolbars allow quick access to the most common commands, while the menus
provide a more complete catalog of EDM commands, organized by function.
There are 7 toolbars, corresponding to the 7 menus. To change which toolbars are
displayed, select Toolbars under the Hide/Show button on the upper right corner.
Toolbars can be rearranged by clicking and dragging their left edge to the desired
location.
