Using the Navigator GUI
The main window of the GUI is divided into several parts. Along the left hand
edge are three smaller panes, one above the other. These three panes show the sys-
tem view, the alarms view, and the details view. Their functions will be described
shortly, but for now, just note that they are there, and that you can move and resize
them as you would with many Windows programs.
To the right of the three stacked panes is the main
program window. Note that it has a number of tabs
along its top, which when clicked on, will switch the
main window to a number of different views. Another
point to note is that the main window’s views are also
dependant on which part of the system you are looking
at. To familiarize your self with the action of the various
views, first click on the WheatNet‑IP System 0 icon in the
System pane. The main window will show information
about the overall system, depending on which of the tabs
in the main window have been selected.
Before we get into the tabs, take a moment to experi-
ment with the system pane. If you’ve connected properly
(remember, because WheatNet‑IP networks are dynamic,
each BLADE must be powered up and plugged into the
LAN to be visible in the system pane) all of the BLADEs
in your system will show in the system pane.
Each BLADE is shown with an icon and BLADE
ID number. If it is the System Master, the designation
“(Master)” will be shown beside the icon. If it is the
