Assigning Settings
By default, no specific settings are assigned to the various portions of the full screen
view. So when you enter a full screen view, each pane will adopt the current settings of
the related window within the normal environment.
For example, the waveforms in a given full screen view could be currently set to show
YUV. Go back to the normal (Windows display) mode, and change the waveform display
to RGB, and then go back into full screen display.
If no settings have been assigned, the waveforms will now be shown in RGB format. If,
however, for the given full screen view, the waveforms had been assigned to YUV, they
would always be shown as YUV, regardless of the setting within the normal Windows
display environment.
Pane settings
To assign settings to a pane, use the standard procedures to make the required settings
within the main part of the program, then select the pane in the Layout Builder, and click
Assign from the ‘Pane settings’ section. Applicable settings include the choice of YUV or
RGB or XYZ, and whether the waveforms are shown at normal size, or are stretched to a
larger size.
If at a later stage you wish to change settings that have been previously assigned, ‘Load’
the current pane settings, change them to suit your requirement in the Windows version
of the display, then re-Assign them within this Full Screen Configuration dialogue.
It is also possible to entirely ‘Remove’ the pane settings if required.
Engineering, ROI and Look & Feel settings
As well as assigning Pane settings, it is also possible to assign particular Engineering
settings, Region of Interest settings, and Look & Feel settings to individual layouts. The
settings concerned are those made through the Engineering Settings control window (see
page 20), the Region of Interest toolbar (see page 63) and the Look&Feel dialogue (see
page 39).
Assigning Hot-keys
Having chosen the full screen layout, chosen displays for each pane, and configured
each pane to suit your requirements, the last thing to do is to assign a hot-key to your
new full screen view.
Right click over the layout image, and select Assign hot-key from the menu that will
appear. When the hot-key dialogue appears, press the key or key combination that you
wish to use, and click on OK. (Do not press Enter on the keyboard, as otherwise that will
be picked as the hot-key assignment.) Note: Certain choices are not available, as these
are already assigned to the OmniTek application, or to the operating system environment.
Once a valid hot-key has been assigned, it will be indicated above the right-hand corner
of the layout image. Subsequent presses of the relevant hot-key will switch the
application directly into Full Screen mode with the chosen layout. The list of all assigned
hot-keys appears on the left of the Full Screen Configuration dialogue. Hot-key
assignments can also be deleted or changed here.
Be warned that certain assignments may remain in force after switching from a full
screen view with an assignment. For example, if a particular hot-key switches both to a
given arrangement of panes and to NTSC, then the whole unit will remain in NTSC until
you change this, or select a layout that has a different Engineering setting assigned to it.
In practice, Engineering settings should either never be assigned, or should be assigned
to every possible hot-key.
Whilst certain controls can be assigned to different full screen views, greater versatility
and greater ease of use is available through using Presets (see page 11) to control
simple functions like switching between single line and multi-line view.
