Using the Agilent 7500 ICP-MS ChemStation Software

Moving within the Software

The ChemStation Top window remains open while you use ChemStation. To open
other ChemStation windows, select items from the Top drop down menus or the tool
bar. This section discusses how to use the mouse and how to move between
windows.

Using the Mouse

Use the mouse to select functions or text, to push buttons and to move scroll bars.
For example, you can select a word in a list box by double-clicking it. You can also
click OK to accept changes made in a dialog box.
Use the left mouse button when clicking or double-clicking unless using the right
mouse button is specified.
To move from one field to the next when entering information in a dialog box, click
the field you are moving to. You can also press the Tab key unless otherwise
indicated. To move to a previous field, click the field, or while holding down the
Shift key, press the Tab key.
Moving Between Windows
In the ICP-MS Top window, multiple task windows can be open at the same time. A
different task can be selected by clicking in any one of the windows or a menu
command can be executed in the selected window. However, a new task cannot be
selected and a new menu command cannot be executed if a dialog box is opened or
a command is being executed in the actual task window, unless the dialog box is
closed or the command execution is completed.
To activate a non-active window, click on any part of that window. The window then
moves to the front of the screen.
To minimize a window, click on the "Minimize" button in the upper right corner of
the menu bar. Only the button on the Windows Task bar remains. To change a button
to a window, double-click the button, or click the button and click Maximize in the
pop-up menu that appears.
