Conventions Used in the Software

Since individual PCs vary slightly, you may need to adjust the software
instructions for your PC. For example, the Enter key is labeled Return on
some keyboards.
Conventions Used in the Software
The Agilent 10747F Metrology Software has been designed for easy data
entry and use. This section outlines some of the conventions you will
follow when using the software.

Entering data

When entering data, tab to move to the next field. Tabbing or double
clicking on a field puts you in replace mode: the information in that field is
highlighted indicating that it will be replaced by what you enter from the
keyboard.
If you use the arrow keys to move to the next field or click once in the field,
you are in insert mode and the information you type will be added to the
existing information.
You can only work with one screen at a time. However, you can move to
the PC Windows operating system without exiting the metrology software.
To do this, follow these steps:
Do not exit the main or Start menu window during data collection; it can
interfere with making your measurements.
Reduce the current metrology screen by selecting the minimize "− " button
in the upper right corner.
This reduces the current screen to an icon on the task bar (located at the
bottom of the Start menu window). The Start menu window is now
displayed on your computer screen.
