Navigation Window
The Navigation window provides the ability to set up, monitor and
test the module, and to view the test results. The Navigation window
can be displayed via two methods, by category or by device. Set the
display window by selecting View>Options from the File Menu bar.
A choice of, by Category or By Device, is provided under the
Navigation Mode column in this window.
The Navigation window contains categories representing Setup,
Signal, Monitor, Test control, Measurements, Analysis, APS
measurement and Compliance. It displays each of the OTS cards
loaded in the system with an associated device icon. Each category
provides additional configuration and control options for the selected
OTS card.
When selected each Category bar moves to the top of the Navigation
window, reflecting the current selection. If a new icon is not selected
from the new navigation view, the menu will still reflect the previous
Navigation window selection. For example, the Navigation window
may show the Signal Monitor icons, when the currently selected
menu is actually Setup-OTS91T2 10Gb/s Tx #1.
The Navigation bar is adaptive. Entries are added depending on the
system configuration. When the server connection is established, the
user interface automatically scans for loaded hardware and displays
the appropriate folders and icons for the hardware on that server.
For example, the sample screen, reflects three transmitters
(OTS91T1, OTS91T3 and OTS92T1), two receivers (OTS91R2 and
OTS92R1) and one synchronization card (OTS92S1). Each card is
represented with a separate icon. Multiple icons of the same type
provide the same screens, but contain custom controls for each
specific card.
Note: Pay attention to the relationship between the icon selected in the Navigation
window to the Active Title Bar.
When changing screen controls by clicking on a category title in the Navigation window, ensure
that the correct device is still currently activated. A new device icon in the Navigation window
must be clicked to change the associated screen menu.
