Tool Tips

Tool tips are information text boxes that are displayed when the mouse hovers over some part of the user interface. The text boxes have a yellow background.

Every field has a tool tip. The purpose, range of values, and units of a field are displayed. You must select a form by clicking on it 1) then hover over the label for the field. The labels and not the data entry areas have tool tips. If the field is in a table then the row labels and column labels will have tool tips.

Every menu item has a tool tip. A description of the action of each menu item is displayed.

The status area at the bottom of the main window has tool tips.

Example

Click Com Ports in the navigation pane to show the form. Hover over the 'Baud Rate' label. The tool tip will appear as a box with a yellow background.
