GENERALSETTINGS
The M300 has a large variety data displays. However, all displays share some common attributes
which can be modified in the same way. The following section describes the general settings that a
user can make to any data display. Although these are general settings, some displays may make use
of certain settings differently while others may not use some features at all.
The pbphsa window shown here shows all the common features of the M300 displays.
Time
The M300 provides time in all display windows as well as the main M300 window.
During acquisition and UDP modes the time will update with current time from the M300/QNX 4
clock. During playback the time will be derived from the time in the data file.
Most windows will display the time from the sync 1 hz buffer.
If the primary window trigger is based on a another type of buffer, then the time will only updated
based on the trigger specified and available data buffer.
Date
The M300 provides the date in all display windows as well as the main M300 window.
During acquisition and UDP modes the date will update with current date from the M300/QNX 4
clock. During playback the date will be derived from the date in the data file.
PauseToggleButton
The pause toggle button, if depressed, will cause the M300 display window to freeze and hold all the
current data values unchanged. This allows the user the capability to observe the data.
The user must click the button again to un-set the button and allow the M300 display to continue.
At times, it’s easy to confuse a window that is paused with some sort of system malfunction. Check
the individual window pause or the global window pause (See “Tool Bar” on page 59).
