4.10.5: Generating Setup Reports
The Master Control program has a Report-Generator feature which allows hardcopy printouts of all
PCAP II Plus control settings to be generated. This is useful when the enhancement procedure needs
to be documented. To access this feature, click on Report-Generator in the Master Control menu bar.
The following pulldown menu (Figure 4-85) will be displayed:

Clicking the Print Report to File option prints the control settings to a user-specified ASCII text file,
which could later be imported to a word processor (such as Microsoft Word, or the Write utility
shipped with Microsoft Windows) for editing. All previous contents of the specified file will be
overwritten. However, this option is limited, since no graphics can be stored in a text file. If you wish
to transfer graphical information to a word processor, click on How to Print Screens for instructions.
Clicking the Append Print Report to File option causes the printed control settings to be tacked on
to the end of any existing text file, without overwriting the previous contents. As with the Print
Report to File option, no graphics can be stored.
Clicking the Print Report to Printer option sends all control settings, including graphs for certain
Filter and Equalizer modes, to the Windows Print Manager for printing. For this feature to work
properly, a printer connection needs to be available to your computer.
4.10.6: Getting Online Help
Context-sensitive online help is available to the PCAP II Plus Master Control program at any time by
pressing the <F1> key. This is a standard feature of Microsoft Windows programs, and is the
recommended method for accessing help.
The term "context-sensitive" means that the help text that is displayed depends upon the window from
which you are currently operating. For example, if you are operating the Spectrum Analyzer controls
and you press the <F1> button, help text for the Spectrum Analyzer will be displayed.
An alternative method for accessing help is to click on Help in the Master Control menu bar. The
following pulldown menu (Figure 4-86) will be displayed:
