Introduction

SPECTRUM Element ManagerÕs device user interface contains a number of 
elements which are common to most windows and which operate the same 
regardless of which window they appear in. A brief description of some of the 
most common elements appears below; note that the information provided here is 
not repeated in the descriptions of speciÞc windows and/or functions.

This document assumes you are using a Windows-compatible mouse with two 
buttons; if you are using a three button mouse, you should ignore the operation of 
the middle button when following procedures in this document. Procedures 
within the SPECTRUM Element Manager document set refer to these buttons as 
follows:

Figure 1-1. Mouse Buttons

For many mouse operations, this document assumes that the left (primary) mouse 
button is to be used, and references to activating a menu or button will not 
include instructions about which mouse button to use. 

However, in instances in which right (secondary) mouse button functionality is 
available, instructions will explicitly refer to right mouse button usage. Also, in 
situations where you may be switching between mouse buttons in the same area 
or window, instructions may also explicitly refer to both left and right mouse 
buttons.

Instructions to perform a mouse operation include the following terms:

¥

 means to position the mouse cursor over an area without pressing 

either mouse button.

¥

 means to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then 

press and release the appropriate mouse button. This is most commonly used 
to select or activate objects, such as menus or buttons.
