protocols show similar information.
The Task menu layout contains information in four sections.
• The Device List with the active device highlighted is shown at the top of the view
• Task Groups are presented in a horizontal ICON row near the middle of the view. The active
group is shown in a highlighted background color
• Tasks within the selected group are presented between the device and task group ICON lists.
The active task is shown in a highlighted background color
• Properties applicable to the active task and their values are shown at the bottom of the view.
These values can be changed if necessary

A less compact presentation is available from the
Splitter control immediately above the ICON region. Select this splitter and, keeping the mouse
button pressed, slide the mouse upwards. Names of all task groups appear.
