8.1.4.2 Edit Menu
Cut/Copy/Paste are standard editing operations to take selected objects to an
internal clipboard and paste back into RTMC.
Cut/Copy does not go to the Windows clipboard so these objects
are not available to paste into other applications. NOTE
Undo cancels the last change made to the project.
Redo repeats the change that was just undone.
Select All selects all of the components in the workspace. The components
can then be cut, copied, deleted, grouped, etc.
The Preferences menu item opens the Editor Preferences screen used to
change some global settings that affect all projects in RTMC. The Visual
Theme determines the look and feel of the application (e.g., colors, button
appearance, etc.). The Working Directory is the directory in which to store
RTMC project files. By default, this is C:\Campbellsci\RTMC. Press the
Change Default Font button to set a new font for components that have text
(numeric value text, graph titles and axes labels, etc.).
Component summaries are small boxes that are displayed on the screen beside
a component when your mouse cursor hovers over the component for a few
seconds. The box displays information on the type of component, the data
value linked to the component, images used, traces plotted, etc. Select the
Show Component Summaries box to display these hint boxes or clear the box
to turn off the display of the information.
The Grid Options group box enables you to turn on or disable the display of a
grid in the project workspace, and allows you to see the size of the grid.
With the Graphics Options settings, you can control the maximum number of
times the RTMC screens will be updated per second, disable animation when a
data value changes, and specify whether high quality or high speed is more
important. (Disabling animation disables the smooth transition between values
on gauges, status bars, etc. When a data value changes, the component will
jump to the new value. This greatly enhances performance when dealing with
fast data or large, complex projects.)
The Customize menu item allows you to customize RTMC’s toolbars and
menus.
8.1.4.3 View Menu
All of the View menu items are toggles. When a check mark appears to the left
of the menu item, it is enabled. When the check mark is absent, the option is
disabled. If an option is off (unchecked), select it once to turn it on (checked)
and vice versa.
Full Screen Mode expands the RTMC workspace to fill the entire computer
screen. This provides more space to work with in designing your RTMC
