Toolboxes

Toolboxes provide additional interaction or feedback about the system. They can be opened or closed to adapt the program window for both small and big screen resolutions. Your workplace is fully configurable, as you can dock every toolbox at the right place in your main window. There are several toolboxes:

Project Explorer Toolbox

Shortcut: KeyF9

The project explorer lets you directly access files and folders with the usual tree view. The navigation in the various projects and the selection of the files is therefore possible while keeping a full overview of your data structure.

  • explorerviewall Show or hide all files other than folders.

Instruments Toolbox

There is also information on the status (running, on-/off-line) of each instrument.

  • attention_24 Instrument does not have a passed diagnostics session, see Instrument diagnostics

  • DiagAlarm Instrument’s diagnostics will soon be out of date, see Instrument diagnostics

  • disconnected_24 Instrument disconnected
