recording, you must press and hold
until you hear three beeps again. Data
recording will stop when you release
.
Alternative Recording Modes
If you have put the GLX into Manual Sam-
pling mode (see page 57), it will not start recording when you press
; rather it
will stand by to record a data point whenever you press
. If you have turned
on the Trigger in the Graph display (see page 20), then the GLX will delay the
start of recording after you press
until the specified trigger condition is
reached.
Home Screen
The Home Screen is the center of the GLX environment. All other screens are
just one step away from the Home Screen. From any other screen, you can
always return to the Home Screen by pressing
.
The Home Screen consists of three sections: the Main Icons, the Bottom Row,
and the Top Bar.
Main Icons
The main icons on the Home Screen lead to the other screens of the GLX envi-
ronment.
To open another screen via one of the main icons, use the up, down, left, and
right arrow keys to highlight the desired icon, then press
.
The highlight wraps around, so you can move it to any icon within three key
presses. For instance, if the highlight is in the first column, and you want to
move it to the fourth column, press the left arrow key once.
Alternatively, if you are using a mouse, simply click on the desired icon.
You can also access the four icons in the bottom row using the function keys.
See “Bottom Row” on page 10 for more information.
The icons and the screens they lead to are described briefly here, and in more
detail elsewhere in the following chapters.
Data Files
Once you have collected data or configured the GLX for an experi-
ment, you can go to the Data Files screen to save your work. You can also open
or delete saved files and manage the displays, sensors, calculations, and manually
entered data sets that are part of a data file. See page 78 for more information.
