6.2 Steady State control
The steady state control panel is the normal control panel for changing
source settings in real time. Since it is a crucial element of the LSGUI
program, it is a non-modal window. This means it can be left open at all
times as long as the LSGUI program is running. To free up screen space,
you may minimize the steady state control screen. It will be iconized into a
small yellow control shown at the bottom of the windows desktop.
Iconized (minimized) Steady State control panel.
The steady state control panel can also be resized using the mouse to
consume less screen space. Use the standard windows drag handles or
select Size from the control box menu. Note however that this window
cannot be sized larger than its default size. There is no more information to
be displayed so allowing for a larger window size would serve no purpose.
The controls on the Steady State screen are grouped logically by
function. Each function is discussed in more details in the next paragraphs.
