1.3 SRT Control Panel
The user interface to the SRT is an interactive JAVA-generated window. The window consists of
a 15 button tool-bar, a text entry command bar, an information side bar listing; times, coordinates,
and source information, observing frequency and system temperatures, and a sky-map showing
antenna travel limits, azimuth and elevation tick marks, as well as source plots and galactic
coordinates. This section will discuss the control window in seven sections to provide the user
with details about the display while allowing some easy navigation around the control panel.
1.3.1
Command Toolbar
The main command input device on the SRT Control Panel is the 15-button command
toolbar arrayed across the top of the window. Pointing and clicking a mouse on any of
these buttons will either initiate an automatic sequence (such as, Cal (calibration) or
track) or wait on further text input from the user (freq or offset).
Figure-2 shows the toolbar as it appears on the SRT console. The following is a listing of
the button functions reading left to right on the toolbar.
