- Overview
- ========
- Starting the Gui
- ----------------
- When the Gui is started, it reads the config file (see :ref:`config`).
- If configured to ask for a sessionname or similar
- the Gui will ask on Startup using a small popup window that appears before the main Window will show.
- |gui_name| consists of mainly two page style views. You can change them by clicking on the large arrowhead shaped
- icons on the left and right of the gui or by clicking on the same icons in the top right hand corner.
- Control View
- ------------
- |gui_name| will start in control view.
- Located in this View are several Buttons to control KAPTURE Boards.
- #. :ref:`skip_init` - Skip the intialisation process.
- #. Prepare Board - This Starts, Calibrates and Synchronizes the Board and sets Default values used for operation.
- #. Soft Reset - Perform a Soft Reset
- #. Board Off - Shut the Board off
- #. Down Arrow - This will expand an advanced Control interface. The following buttons will be visible
- #. Start Board - Send the Board the Signal to Start
- #. Calibrate - Send the Board the Signal to Calibrate itself
- #. Synchronize - Send the Board the Signal to Synchronize components
- #. Set Defaults - Send the Board the Default Values
- #. Check Status - Check the Status of the Board
- .. _skip_init:
- Skip Initialisation
- '''''''''''''''''''
- If you need to restart the Gui but do not want to do a full preparation (which will reset values you set before) you
- can use Skip Initialisation. This reads all necessary values from the Board and puts the Gui in a state where you can
- use it as if you hadn't closed it.
- .. caution:: Skip Initialisation is dangerous. If you did not prepare the board before using Skip Initialisation
- It won't work properly if at all.
- Multi View
- ----------
- Multi View is the second view of |gui_name|. This ist the main view during operation. From here
- you can control the boards various settings via sub-windows and you can start or stop acquisitions.
- Each sub-window controls different aspects of the board. To open them you can either click on one of the toolbar
- buttons at the top, use the main windows menu or use keyboard shortcuts (which are shown as tooltips on the
- toolbar buttons).
- You see on the left a pane with an (at the beginning) empty white box. This box is or will be the
- list of open plot windows. When ever you open a plot window (be it for live or for data plots) it will appear
- here and you can left click on each entry to bring this plot window to focus.
- Below that white box is a information section about the different connected boards. Clicking on the text there will
- open the acquire settings window.
- At the bottom of the pane on the left side are Buttons and tickboxes (if more than one board is connected) to start
- acquisitions or to create a manual measurement-log entry.
- Advanced Table View
- -------------------
- This View lets you view the current content of different registers on the board.
- To enable this View simply enable the "Enable Advanced Table View" option in the settings (see :ref:`settings`).
- Here you can also set certain bits in the editable register at the bottom of this view.
- .. note::
- To actually write the values in the editable registertable to the board you have to press `Write Values to Board`.
- .. caution::
- `Clear Input` will only clear the ticks in the gui. It will not change values on the board.
