Interacting with Agilent VEE
This section explains how to use the VEE graphical
programming language, including a list of systems supported,
how the mouse and menus work, how to get help, how to
start VEE, and how to work in the VEE window.
Supported Systems
This version of VEE is supported on the following operating
systems:
• Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and
Windows XP on a PC.
The Mouse and the Menus
You are probably familiar with the computer’s mouse- and
menu- driven interface: the pull- down menus, toolbars, and
dialog boxes that you control with the mouse and keyboard.
VEE uses your computer’s interface. In the instructions
about using the mouse to operate menus, icons, buttons, and
objects, the common techniques are as follows:
• To “click” an item, place the mouse pointer on the desired
item and quickly press and release the left mouse button.
• To “double- click” an item, place the mouse pointer on the
desired item and click the left mouse button twice, in
rapid succession.
• To “drag” an item, place the mouse pointer on a desired
item, hold the left mouse button down, and move the item
to the appropriate location. Then, release the mouse
button.
NOTE
The right mouse button is used less frequently. You are advised if you need
to click the right mouse button. If your mouse has a middle button, you will
not use it for VEE.
