This page is accessible from any other instrument page by clicking on the instrument name in the
web page header.
All of the configuration, data acquisition, and data retrieval features available through the web page
are accessed through the EX10xxA command menu that is displayed on the left hand side of every
internal web page. The entries on the command menu represent three types of pages:
Status This type of page performs no action and accepts no entries. It provides
operational status and information only. The EX10xxA Main page is an
example of a status page.
Action This type of page initiates a command on the instrument, but does not
involve parameter entry. The Trigger…Initialize page is an example of
an action page.
Entry This type of page displays and accepts changes to the configuration
controls of the instrument. The Scan List…Configuration page is an
example of an entry page.
Use of the entry-type web pages in the EX10xxA are governed by a common set of operational
characteristics:
 Each page contains two standard buttons: Apply.
 Pages initially load with the currently-entered parameters or selections displayed.
 Changes that are made after the initial load are not accepted until the Apply button is clicked.
Once the Apply button is clicked, the page will reload, showing the new state of the page.
 Navigation through a parameter screen is done with the Tab key. The Enter key has the same
function as clicking the Apply button and cannot be used for navigation.
When accessing an action or entry page for the first time during a session, an Error page will appear.
To clear this error, click on the login link. The Login page will appear. In the Password field, enter
