===Interface description===


[[NVGate_Ribbons_overview |See interface overview page]]
======Analyzer Settings======
The Log Window shows all the changes made to the modules (Front-end, Filter builder, Monitor, FFT x, etc.) in the ASB.
Some setting values need to be adjusted when another setting value is modified. So when you change a setting value in the ASB (new value: ...) which may affect another setting value, the Log window marks the changes made by the analyzer (adjusted to: ...).
1. Right click on this area:
2. Select Copy (to paste a setup in a text document for example)
3. Clear the display in the Analyzer Settings tab.
Warning
The Warning tab shows any unauthorized operations you have carried out or errors reported by NVGate®.
1. Right click on this area:
2. Select Copy (to paste a setup in a text document for example)
3. Clear the display in the Warning tab.
Macro Trace
The Macro Trace tab shows the operations (the start and stop macro execution, errors) made in the macro mode.
Warnings do not stop macro execution but major errors will.
1. Right click on this area:
2. Clear the display in the Macro Trace tab.
'''Tip:''' double clicking on the error icon in the Macro Trace tab will open the Macro Editor on the failed command.
=====Workspace=====
[[Image:Usersmanual_39.png|framed|none]]
The workspace is a dockable tab on the left part of the NVGAte interface it holds 3 main themes of the analyzer interface.
Analyzer Setting Browser (ASB)
The analyzer is controlled through a tree of settings called the Analyzer Setting Browser (ASB). This tree consists of a set of modules that allows to setup the signal acquisition, play back and processes.
'''Note''': The "information" icon [[Image:Usersmanual_134.png]]may be found next to a setting. It means you cannot change the setting value.
'''Tip''': When using the right click on any item from the ASB, you can copy the value(s) contained in the selection (it can be a module, collection, sub-module or just a setting) and paste it (them) into another item which contains compatible value(s). It is also possible to drag and drop a scalar type setting [[Image:Usersmanual_135.png]]from the ASB to a displayed window (for example the center frequency of the FFT Zoom).
======Ways of editing a setting======
Right click on an item and select '''Properties. '''You can check your setup and also change the settings in real time by double-clicking on the cell you want to change. The drop-down menu or the mouse wheel can also be used.
A setting can be set to its default value by right-clicking on it and by selecting '''Set to default'''.

======Analyzer states======
In the analyzer Setting Browser, you can find the analyzer states icons. They were made to show you visually the state of each plug-in analyzer at the same time. Follow the icon descriptions:
[[Image:Usersmanual_137.png]]
The plug-in analyzer is stopped
[[Image:Usersmanual_138.png]]
The plug-in analyzer is running
[[Image:Usersmanual_139.png]]
The plug-in analyzer is paused
[[Image:Usersmanual_140.png]]
The plug-in analyzer is recording
[[Image:Usersmanual_141.png]]
The plug-in analyzer is waiting for a trigger: defined Event or Manual (
[[Image:Usersmanual_142.png]]
)
[[Image:Usersmanual_143.png]]
The plug-in analyzer is waiting for the user answer: Accept (
[[Image:Usersmanual_144.png]]
) or Reject (
[[Image:Usersmanual_145.png]]
) the signal
[[Image:Usersmanual_146.png]]
The plug-in analyzer is failed (the analyzer is not able to do the data acquisition anymore; a warning message will appear)
Modules
There are 4 types of modules:
[[Image:Usersmanual_147.png]]
The sources that acquire store and play back signals
[[Image:Usersmanual_148.png]]
The resources that provide events, filters, weighting windows, and tachometers to the plug-in analyzers
[[Image:Usersmanual_149.png]]
The plug-in analyzers that process independent analysis modes
[[Image:Usersmanual_150.png]]
The Waterfall that synchronizes the results computed by the plug-ins
The modules contain different functions located on '''sub-modules'''.
A '''collection'''
[[Image:Usersmanual_151.png]]
is a box that contains a group of sub-modules of the same type (inputs, filters, channels, etc.). The sub-modules of collection can be active (visible) or inactive (hidden). Right click on it to add/remove channels.
The '''settings''' are inside the sub-modules. The ASB has a maximum depth of 3 levels: module, sub-module and setting. In the case of multiple similar sub-modules (inputs for example), the user sets his analyzer simply by changing the settings. The settings are grouped in families:
* The scalar settings
[[Image:Usersmanual_152.png]]
are every numerical value which can be entered from the keyboard.
* The label settings
[[Image:Usersmanual_153.png]]
are every character string which can be entered from the keyboard.
* The enumerated settings
[[Image:Usersmanual_154.png]]
are a selection of an item from a list (items are character strings or numbers).
* The Table setting is a group of values
* The Matrix setting is selection of a matrix<nowiki>’</nowiki>s intersections
* The Boolean setting
[[Image:Usersmanual_155.png]]
allows activating or deactivating functions (inputs, auto-calibration, zoom…)
