The Instrument View on the GDW is a representation of the instrument itself and as such the buttons on it have similar functions to the buttons on the front panel of the instrument.
Typically one of the buttons on the Instrument View will display the complete Parameter List showing the values for all the variables for the instrument.
The particular button on the Instrument View that displays the Parameter List depends on the specific instrument.
Once the Parameter List is shown, if some of the parameters seem to be missing then it may be because it is just the abbreviated list of frequently required variables. To display the full list use the Options Menu and select the Short Param List menu command. All the parameters will appear. Choose this menu item again to toggle back to the short list mode.
The Short Names menu item on the popup menu switches between a mnemonic and full name mode:
To change a value:
| • | Single-click a variable and then click Alter OR |
| • | Double-Click a variable OR |
| • | Right-click and choose Alter Value from the popup menu |
The Alter button is disabled if the selected variable is read-only.
Click the Print button to save the the list of parameters and their current values to disk for future printing. To send the file directly to the printer use the name of the printer, for example LPT1: as the filename.
If the Parameter List box has been dragged off the screen, such that it can't be seen, then its position can be reset using Preferences - Settings from the File Menu.
