for auto scale or
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_204.png|framed|none]]
for inputs connection
 
* Status buttons:  These buttons work like the standard ones but they can be activated or de-activated. They are used for changing a state. An activated button is slightly darkened.
* Examples:
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_205.png|framed|none]]
that switches between on-line and post-analysis modes,<br> or
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_206.png|framed|none]]
for enabling the marker manipulations.
* Settings: Provide a direct access to one of the ASB setting. Allow to continuously check the setup.
 
* Examples:
 
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_207.png|framed|none]]
 
* Multi-actions:  These buttons works as the standard ones but it is possible to
select their action from a list.  When an action item is selected from the list, it became the default action of the button, the icon is changed.
 
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_208.png|framed|none]]
 
Examples are: Marker, or User selection.
 
*
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_04.png|framed|none]]
 
Status buttons:  These buttons change and show the status of the active element (windows, trace, etc..). Selecting one of the item in their list will apply this status to the active element. The status buttons change depending on the applied changes to the element (or change of element). It is useful to monitor and see immediately in what state is a 3D or the active user for ex.
 
Note: The buttons are highlighted when the mouse pointer pass over an active button.
 
=====On line help on Vision ribbons=====
The content of the Vision™ ribbons are connected to the on-line help.
 
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_209.png|framed|none]]
 
In order to get help from one of the Vision element, activate the help mode by clicking on the upper right question mark. The cursor switches to a pointer <nowiki>+</nowiki> pointer marks. Then click on the desired item. The corresponding page of the reference manual will be opened.
 
Note that the latest pdf reader software are supported with NVGate V9.00: Acrobat reader 32 or 64 bits and Acrobat and any other pdf reader. The ability to open the manual at the corresponding pages is supported by Adobe™ products only. OROS recommend using acrobat reader using the on-line help functionality.
 
=====Minimize ribbon and full screen=====
In order to gain space on the NVGate screen during acquisition and analysis the NVGate ribbon can be minimized. It operates like in the MS Office suite:
 
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_210.png|framed|none]]
Use the upper right arrow to minimize or reset the ribbon size. When the ribbon is minimized the tab header remains visible. Their content is accessible by clicking on the corresponding tab header.
 
The full screen function has been improved. It hides the application top bar as well as the windows bottom bar.
 
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_211.png|framed|none]]
 
=====File Menu=====
A unique "File" menu is available on upper left for input/output file operation. It allows loading/saving setups and provides access to the on-line help


=====Status bar=====
Key features have been emphasized by the Vision interface, guiding the users to the best way using their OROS 3-Series analyzer.
At the bottom of the screen a fixed status bar maintain a continuous monitoring of the inputs and analysis:

====The "report" tab====
=====Tab & groups=====
This tab is dedicated to the report generation. It contains the necessary tools to build up or modify a template into MS Word™ or Excel™. The use of the tab is no more requested as soon a template has been build up; the report can be generated from the ''Measurement'' tab.
The interface layer features 7 standard tabs (optional tab are also visibles). Each tab contains a set of groups which gathers settings, info and buttons about one topic (e.g. disk, FFT or transducers).

=====Actions=====
The groups contain buttons, setting and check boxes of different types:


====Virtual inputs====
'''Buttons: ''' Left click on it leads to an action or opens a dialog box.
This group gives access to the real-time computation between channels.
''See'' ''Chapter - Virtual inputs ''


====Link====
Examples:  [[Image:Usersmanual_122.png]]for auto scale or [[Image:Usersmanual_123.png]] for inputs connection
This part of the Tools tab provides a link to external software. One a target is selected, each mousse click on the ''Execute'' button launches the target software. As a reminder, the target software can be any executable file from windows (.bat, .exe, shortcuts, etc...). Simply add one target in the c:/OROS/NVGated Data/Links directory and you will be able to use directly for the NVGate interface

The status buttons change depending on the applied changes to the element (or change of element). It is useful to monitor and see immediately in what state is a 3D or the active user for example.
The software interface features a status bar that shows continuously the different status of the hardware, analysis and ongoing actions.


[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_485.png|framed|none]]
'''Note''': The buttons are highlighted when the mouse pointer pass over an active button.


The status bar is divided in 5 parts
=====Status bar=====
At the bottom of the screen a fixed status bar maintains a continuous monitoring of the inputs and analysis:


====Control Tab====
[[Image:Usersmanual_129.png|framed|none]]
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_486.png|framed|none]]
Allows starting, pausing and stopping the analysis.


''See Measurement tab/control group for details''
See [[NVGate Status bar|status bar page]] for more info


====Plug-ins progress bars====
=====On line help on Vision ribbons=====
Shows the individual analysis status of the active plug-ins. The Progress bars appear automatically when the plug-in are activated (i.e: Inputs or tracks are connected to their channels).
The content of the Vision™ ribbons are connected to the on-line help.


Ex:
[[Image:Usersmanual_130.png|framed|none]]
[[Image:Reports_Tools_Ribbons_487.png|framed|none]]


Each progress bar displays:
In order to get help from one of the Vision elements, activate the help mode by clicking on the upper right question mark. The cursor switches to a pointer <nowiki>+</nowiki> question mark. Then click on the desired item. The corresponding page of the reference manual will be opened.


* A progress bar:
Note that the latest pdf reader software is supported with NVGate: Acrobat reader 32 or 64 bits and Acrobat and any other pdf reader. The ability to open the manual at the corresponding pages is supported by Adobe™ products only. OROS recommend using acrobat reader using the on-line help functionality.
* Indicates the current averaging number or analysis duration. In case of un expectable duration, the progress bar continuously run for one side to the other.
* The color indicates the real time status:
* Green = real-time, all sample are processed
* Red = the analysis has encountered a non real-time situation, sample have not been analyzed


* A text: (''AVT) SSSS: AAA''
=====Minimize ribbon and full screen=====
* AVT = Average type
In order to gain space on the NVGate screen during acquisition and analysis the NVGate ribbon can be minimized. It operates like in the MS Office suite:
* SSSS= Plug-in status (Stop, run, Paused, triggering,)
* The text color indicates the current real-time status: Red = not real-time

Vision Tab

The Vision interface gathers the analyzers functionalities in simple, clear and easy to identify tabs organized according to the main operations (First steps, measuring, results edition, configuration build-up, automation, general setup etc…).

Key features have been emphasized by the Vision interface, guiding the users to the best way using their OROS 3-Series analyzer.

Operation with Vision

With Vision the software entries are organized in a logical operations way. There is 7 different tabs corresponding to 3 main operations type:

1. Measure – Setup – Custom

2. Measurements

The principal goal the instrument is to measure noise and vibrations. The tabs corresponding to such operations are gathered at the top left of the interface: Home & Measurements.

3. Setup and fine tuning

This section of the Vision tab offers a clear way to build or modify a measurement or post-analysis configuration. That covers the main steps of a measurement setup. These steps are respectively managed by the Acquisition, Analyses and Display/Graphs tabs.

Tab & groups

The interface layer features 7 standard tabs (optional tab are also visibles). Each tab contains a set of groups which gathers settings, info and buttons about one topic (e.g. disk, FFT or transducers).

Reports Tools Ribbons 202.png
Actions

The groups contain buttons, setting and check boxes of different types:

Buttons: Left click on it leads to an action or opens a dialog box.

Examples: Usersmanual 122.pngfor auto scale or Usersmanual 123.png for inputs connection

Status buttons: These buttons work like the standard ones but they can be activated or de-activated. They are used for changing a state. An activated button is slightly darkened.

Examples: Usersmanual 124.png that switches between on-line and post-analysis modes,

Multi-actions: These buttons work as the standard ones but it is possible to select their action from a list. When an action item is selected from the list, it becomes the default action of the button, the icon is changed.

Examples are: Marker, or User selection.

Status buttons: These buttons change and show the status of the active element (windows, trace, etc..). Selecting one of the items in their list will apply this status to the active element. The status buttons change depending on the applied changes to the element (or change of element). It is useful to monitor and see immediately in what state is a 3D or the active user for example.

Note: The buttons are highlighted when the mouse pointer pass over an active button.

Status bar

At the bottom of the screen a fixed status bar maintains a continuous monitoring of the inputs and analysis:
