Understanding the Interface

This is the default mode and displays the full diagnostics capabilities.

1 – Title Bar

2 – Information Bar

3 – Navigation Area

4 – Content Controls

5 – System Connection Section

6 – System Monitoring Section

7 – Menu Buttons

8 – Expand/Collapse Button

 

This mode displays almost all of the diagnostics capabilities, except for the navigation area and content controls. The collapsed mode is used in situations where the diagnostics features are not necessary, are not authorized, or are not available. For example, if you simply want to use DB Programming, you may choose to use the collapsed mode. When you decide to use the diagnostics features, click the Expand/Collapse button to switch to the expanded mode.
