TIP

The Terminal application is written to make use of a touch screen style of
interface. On a touch screen, it is difficult to perform a double-tap, analogous
to a mouse double-click, with any degree of accuracy or repeatability. For this
reason, the application does not make use of any ‘double-tap’ type of
selection, even with the mouse.

The terms ‘click’ and ‘tap’ are interchangeable in this document.

When making parameter selections, a two-step process is typically required.
First step is to select the parameter. Second step is to confirm the selection via
a push button or, if a list is being displayed, a column header. This is explained
in greater detail during the description of the various screens.
