NVGate Ribbons: Home

Go to result group

Online mode

	Start...: Opens the NVGate start dialog which is dedicated to make the first steps in the software. The NVGate start dialog is also displayed at each NVGate Start except if the user checks the option Do not show again in the dialog. Open project: Opens the NVGate Start dialog which is dedicated to make the first steps in the software. The Start dialog is also displayed at each NVGate Start except if the user deactivates the option in the bottom left of the dialog. New project: Opens the NVGate Start dialog which is dedicated to make the first steps in the software. The Start dialog is also displayed at each NVGate Start except if the user deactivates the option in the bottom left of the dialog.
	Online to Post-analysis: This button is used to switch from Online mode to Post-analysis mode. This will open the Select Signal window which lists all the recorded signals available. The selected signal will be then playback and can be re-injected into any plug-in analyzer (Monitor, FFT, 1/n Octave...). It is also possible to play back a recorded signal through the Output during Online analysis. See player page for more details.
	Select inputs: Opens the Inputs selection dialog which allows activating and setting-up the dynamic inputs in a fast and smart way.
	Show results: Opens the Results dialog which allows displaying and saving results without connecting inputs or tracks to the plug-in analyzers in advance.
	Results overview: Opens the Results overview table which summarizes all the displayed and saved result (i.e. present in the Save Selection list)

Post-analysis mode

	Post-analysis to online: This button is used to switch from Online mode to Post-analysis mode.
	Select signal: Opens the Select signal dialog to select the signal to be post-analyzed.
	Select tracks: Opens the Inputs table showing the inputs definition of the signal to be post-analyzed.

Measurement group

Note that another Run/Pause/Stop button is always available in the status bar (bottom left)

	Run: (CTRL+R) This button controls the general analysis and recording start. The plug-ins with connected channels/tracks will start their process once the run is activated. Note: The monitor and the Time Domain Analysis (in free run mode) process is continuous; it do not depends on the run status. Note: the trigger/start status of the plug-ins may block their process, waiting for an event."" Warning: Pressing the run button during an analysis leads to reset all current analyses, restarting all averages from 0. The analyzed data will be lost.
	Pause: Suspend or un-suspend the current analysis. Note: If the recorder is running, it starts / finishes a record.
	Stop: (CTRL+S) Stops all the current analyses and recording. After requesting a stop, the plug-ins finish their current block. When all the plug-ins have switched to Stop the analyzer switches to the Stopped status Note: The analyzed results and recorded signal are saved when the analyzer switch to stop. This is the default behavior. It may be changed from the user preferences.

Save group

Save measurement: Save the result of the last measurement. This button is available when: There is at least one result selected in the save selection, The measurement is stopped, The result exists.

Save option: Define the way the results and signals are saved. Save measurement Save option Define the way the results and signals are saved. It opens the Save setup dialog which contains 2 tabs. Save setup tab Base name: The name the new measurement will have. A suffix is automatically added to the name if the specified name is already in use. Names from sequence: Select this option to link the measurement name to the corresponding sequence fields of the sequence currently in use. See also "Sequence" topic from Chapter 5: Reports & Tools. Native format: Determines whether the measurement should be saved in OR3x format. If not selected, the new measurement will not appear in the project manager. Export format: Used to export the new measurement in an external format. A folder must be specified to receive the converted result. See more details about the export formats in the "Export" topic from the "Chapter 7: User preferences". Auto-increment: Used to insure the new measurement has a unique name. Number Adds a number to the Base name. The first available increment is used Date Adds date information to the Base name. The date format is dd-mm-yyyy hh’mm’ss" or mm-dd-yy hh’mm’ss according to the regional settings of the PC Save option: This option determines the way in which the measurement will be created when the analyzer stops Do not save No measurement will be created. The only way to save the results selected is to perform the Save Result command manually In default measurement The measurement is created with the name "Default measurement". If a measurement with this name already exists, it is overwritten. With name confirmation A dialog box will be displayed when the analyzer stops. It will suggest a name using a Base name and an auto increment choice. Without name confirmation The measurement is created with a name automatically generated from the Base name and the auto increment choice. Default keyword: Used to choose the keyword that will be associated with the new measurement. Refer to the preference section for more information. Saved Results Current Analysis result: Results obtained from an acquisition. End of acquisition: open automatically a dialog box to save the results when the analyzer stops. Manually: allow to save the results manually. Working results: Results obtained after an operation based on already saved analysis results, for example a result calculated with an operator. These results can be only saved manually. Save selection tab Results provided by the plug-ins Result selection: List of results provided by the plug-in analyzer selected. Multiple plug-ins may be selected if all results selected are compatible (which means that they can be displayed in the same result window). Channel selection: List of plug-in analyzer channels connected, available for the result selected. Operation: in the top combo-box, list of weighting that can be applied to results selected. In the middle combo-box, list of derivation/integration operations which can be applied. In the bottom combo-box, list of display units. Reference / X: List of plug-in analyzer channels connected. This can be the reference. Available for results that require a reference only (cross-spectrum, for example). Tracked order: List of tracked orders on channel selected. Available if result selected is an order result. Traces List of traces available in the project coming from current analysis results and working results.

Setup group

	Load setup: Opens the Load setup dialog, which allows loading setups from Models, Measurements and Projects or creating setups for online or post-analysis.
	Save as model: Enables to save the current setup as a Model.
	Active model: Displays the name of the loaded Model. This Model will remain active until a Reset setup is applied or another setup is loaded.
	Reset: Closes the active Model and set all parameters to the default values.

Data group

	Attachment: Enables to quickly identify if files (reports, pictures, videos....) are attached to the current project. Note: if the "Default project" is active, the Attachment button is greyed. The Attachment folder of the current project is empty or does not exist. File(s) are located in the Attachment folder of the current project.
	Filter projects: Opens the Filter Project dialog, which enables selecting the projects to be visible in the Project manager.

Disk group

	Record: Displays and enables selecting where the recording is performed (analyzer's disk or computer disk) or to stop temporarily the recording (off).
	Used space: Gives a visual overview of the space available on the disk.
	Download: Opens the Mobi-Disk manager dialog, which lists the signals available on the analyzer's disk and enables selecting the signals to be downloaded on the pc.
