Introduction
Software Conventions
The SPECTRUM Element Manager device user interface contains a number of
elements which are common to most windows and which operate the same
regardless of which window they appear in. A brief description of some of the
most common elements appears below; note that the information provided here is
not repeated in the descriptions of speciÞc windows and/or functions.
Using the Mouse
This document assumes you are using a Windows-compatible mouse with two
buttons; if you are using a three button mouse, you should ignore the operation of
the middle button when following procedures in this document. Procedures
within the SPECTRUM Element Manager document set refer to these buttons as
follows:
Figure 1-1. Mouse Buttons
For many mouse operations, this document assumes that the left (primary) mouse
button is to be used, and references to activating a menu or button will not
include instructions about which mouse button to use.
However, in instances in which right (secondary) mouse button functionality is
available, instructions will explicitly refer to right mouse button usage. Also, in
situations where you may be switching between mouse buttons in the same area
or window, instructions may also explicitly refer to both left and right mouse
buttons.
NOTE
In accordance with Year 2000 compliance requirements, SPECTRUM Element Manager
now displays and allows you to set all dates with four-digit year values.
