About windows
There are three main types of window you will encounter when using the GUI,
as follows (an example of each is shown below):
• Properties windows contain elements that you can select or edit, such
as options, lists, tick boxes, text elds etc.
• Message windows contain text that can be a prompt or an error
message. Generally, this type of window will contain an OK and a
CANCEL button by which you can acknowledge the message or cancel
the operation, respectively. Also, some message windows contain a
user-editable text eld.
• List windows have a number of user-selectable options in the form of
a list, and some may also include an OK and a CANCEL button.
Similar to a window found on a PC running a Windows-based operating system,
windows can be moved around the screen, which is useful if you need to see
what is behind the window. Also, each window has a close (X) button at its
upper-right corner.
>> To close a window
Do one of the following:
• If the window has an OK button, and you have made the requisite
changes in the window or you wish to acknowledge its message,
click OK.
• If the window has a CLOSE button, click CLOSE. Changes made in this
type of window update the control centre ‘live’, that is, as soon as you
make them, so clicking CLOSE merely closes the window.
• If the window has a CANCEL button, and you wish to cancel any
changes or abort the operation, click CANCEL.
• Click “(X)” at the upper-right corner of the window.
>> To move a window
Use drag, rst clicking on the window’s blue bar (top) and then dragging the
window where you want it.
Using the GUI menu
You can open the GUI menu at either GUI screen or you can go directly a
GUI menu screen by using a screen access button.
