Figure 3.9 shows how the linear gage in Figure 3.8 might
look if you dragged the right end of the gage to a new
position. In this case, the right end of the gage moves, but the
left end remains anchored.

Shortcut
So far, you have seen how to access menus and manipulate
symbols. But what about exiting a menu after you have
completed parameter selection and/or symbol manipulation?
A key time-saving
feature
of the CVIM user interface
is
that it enables
you to jump directly
from wherever
you
are in a menu to any part of the same menu, or to
another
menu, or even to another
configuration
category
in the Main Configuration
menu.
You do not need to "back out" of any menu the way you
entered it. This shortcut can save you considerable
time
getting around the screen.
Try this shortcut example:
Set up the menu with the two popup menus as shown in the
following figure. To do this, pick the Camera (A or B) menu
box. You should get the first popup menu. Then, pick the
Lighting/Resolution
menu box in the first popup menu. You
should get the second popup menu.
Now, pick the Res.: 256Hx256V
menu box in the second
popup menu (the numbers might actually be 5 12 Hx256V or
5 12Hx5 12V at this time - it doesn't matter). A third popup
menu should appear just above, and to the right of, the
second popup menu. This is the Resolution popup menu.
Your screen should now look like A in Figure 3.10.
