22 Chapter 2: Getting Started GUI Conventions OutputView browser: displays waveform data hierarchies. Waveview window: The waveview window is the waveform viewing area. Multiple waveviews can be opened inside the waveview window. The width of the browser area and the waveview window can be adjusted using the vertical pane bar in between the Browser and the waveview area. GUI Conventions The following sections explain the conventions used in the Custom WaveView GUI. Using Mouse Buttons To maximize GUI compatibility between the X-Windows and the MS-Windows environment, Custom WaveView uses only two mouse buttons: the right and the left mouse buttons. The middle mouse button is not used. The left mouse button is used in selecting an action button, a browser item, zooming range and moving a slider bar. The right mouse button is used to invoke the popup context menu for a selected item/area. The mouse wheel is supported on both the Windows and the UNIX platforms. Selecting Browser Items To select a single browser item, click the left mouse button on an item. To make multiple selections, click the left mouse button while pressing and holding the Shift key a second item to select all items in between, or click the left mouse button while pressing and holding the Ctrl key on an item to toggle the selection state of the item. In a hierarchy browser, you can expand an item to browse its child items. Left click the + icon box to the left of a closed item or double-click the item to open it. Left click the - icon box to the left of an opened item or double-click the item to close it. 8 Custom WaveView User Guide

23 Chapter 2: Getting Started Terminating the Application Drag-and-Drop Operations Items from the OutputView browser can be dragged and dropped to waveview windows. Items can be dragged and dropped inside or between the waveview windows. To start a drag-and-drop operation, hold down the left mouse button over an item, drag it over to a drop-site and release the button to complete the operation. If the dragged item is a member of a multiple selection set, all selected items are involved in the drag-and-drop operation. Numerical Values All GUI dialog fields accept values in the scientific number format (1.00E+02) or numbers with scale unit such as nano (n) and micro (u). The following scale units are supported: T - 1E12 G - 1E9 M (upper case) - 1E6 MEG - 1E6 x - 1E6 k - 1E3 m (lower case) - 1E-3 u - 1E-6 n - 1E-9 p - 1E-12 f - 1E-15 Terminating the Application To exit Custom WaveView, select File > Exit from the top menu.

Panels in a waveview can be arranged in two modes: vertical stack or independent row/ column. In the vertical stack mode, panels stack top down and share a common horizontal axis. In the independent row/column mode, panels are arranged from left to right in a row. Panels in the row/column mode are independent from each other. A small icon at the upper-right corner of the waveview indicates the waveview orientation. The following display modes are available: Stack Mode Row and Column Mode Vertical Row and Column Mode Horizontal Row and Column Mode Tiled Row and Column Mode Stack Mode To view waveviews in vertical stack mode, right-click a waveview tab and choose Stack Layout from the menu that opens.
