5.3.3.3 Toggles
Toggles let you select one setting out of a group defined settings. They are similar to Radio
buttons (chapter 5.3.3.2); except that only the selected setting is displayed. You select other
settings by clicking on the text showing the toggle setting, or by pressing the space bar.
5.3.3.4 Input and list boxes
Input boxes let you type in text. Most basic text-editing keys work in the text box (for example,
arrow keys, Home, End, and Ins). If you continue to type once you reach the end of the box,
the contents automatically scroll. If there is more text than what shows in the box, arrowheads
appear at the end. You can click the arrowheads to scroll or drag the text.
If an input box has a down-arrow icon to its right, there is an associated history list. Click the
down arrow icon, or press the down arrow key to display the list. You will find text you typed
the last few times you used the input box. Press Enter to choose an item from this list. You can
also edit an item in the history list. Press Esc to exit from the history list without making a
selection.
A final component of many dialog boxes is a list box, which lets you scroll through and select
from variable-length lists (often file names) without leaving a dialog box. If a blinking cursor
appears in the list box and you know what you are looking for, you can type the word (or the
first few letters of the word) and the ILS Data Sampler will search for it.
You make a list box active by clicking it or by choosing the highlighted letter of the list title (or
press Tab until it's highlighted). Once a list box is displayed, you can use the scroll box to
move through the list or press the arrow keys on the keyboard.
5.4 Configuring the RMM system
This chapter describes how to configure the RMM system. The configuration settings covered
in this chapter does not affect the operation of remote ILS systems in any manner. It applies to
the “PC part” of the system only.
The configuration dialogs is accessed via the Options menu. The following sub-chapters cov-
ers each of the menu items on this menu.
5.4.1 Communications setup
The software allows you to connect the modems to two of four communications ports; COM1 -
COM4, with configurable IRQ's for COM3 and COM4. The ILS station may also be connected
directly to the PC by the use of a null modem cable.
The communication with the ILS is done with the use of a Channel construct. In the station
setup for an ILS station one selects a Channel in which the communication with the remote
ILS shall flow. Each channel is then associated with a specific set of configurable communica-
tion settings.
Choosing Communications setup brings up the following dialog
