Menus and Toolbars

Use menu items and toolbar buttons to configure and run LabVIEW SignalExpress projects, modify the environment, and access help.

Menus

The menus at the top of the LabVIEW SignalExpress application window contain items common to other applications, such as Open Project, Save Project, Copy, and Paste, and other items specific to LabVIEW SignalExpress. Some menu items also list keyboard shortcuts. Most toolbar buttons have corresponding menu items that perform the same action.

Shortcut Menus

Some LabVIEW SignalExpress objects, including steps, graphs, and logs, have associated shortcut menus. Shortcut menus contain more object-specific options than the LabVIEW SignalExpress menus. For example, you can use the shortcut menu for the Data View to change the visible items on the Data View tab. To access the shortcut menu for an object, right-click the object.

Toolbars

The toolbar at the top of the LabVIEW SignalExpress application window includes buttons that perform actions on the project-level, such as running the project or displaying the Add Step palette. Some tabs also have toolbars that perform actions on the tab-level, such as adding a display to the Data View tab and changing the font on the Project Documentation tab.
