This dialog box should be used to change various parameters that are global for DM2003
application. Its controls are grouped on three tabs: General properties, File
Types and Scripter properties.
General Tab:
Data Window group - includes several flags related to the behavior of the
data windows.
View group - allows you to show or hide toolbar and status line of the
main window. If you check "Use taskbar" flag, icons
for Notes, Series Manager
and Browser windows will appear on the system task
panel.
Browser window options - control
HTML-based interface security and allows you to change system Internet
properties. Uncheck both flags to enforce safety if you store portions of the
user interface on the Internet.
Autosave Desktop feature allows you periodically save contents of all
data windows (or only modified windows in the Quick
mode) in the autosave.dmw desktop file. In the case of application failure, you
may try to restore data from this file.
File Types Tab:
Enter extension and brief description of new file type (you must define both
values) and click "Add New" button to create and associate file type with DM2003. This
feature enables interaction with file managers like Windows Explorer. Check
"Show property pages" flag before creating new file type if you have installed
MetaBase component and wish to
display its file property pages. Note: DM2003 considers *.dmw files as desktops,
other user-defined types as data files. See File actions for
more information.
Select file type in the table and click "Delete" button to
delete file type from the list of types associated with DM2003.
Warning: file types are system-wide, shared settings. If file type was
already associated with some application, this association may be replaced. Also
keep in mind that you must delete file types before you uninstall DM2003.
Scripter Tab:
Includes various parameters defined in the master script file that implements
the most of DM2003 user-level functionality. Since you may modify this script,
you may easily add new options onto this tab. Default options are:
Initial view radio buttons - select initial window state for newly created data windows.
Calibration table group - display properties of the installed calibration
table used by Table() internal function.
Use MetaBase flag - if checked, DM2003 will try to find data file
description and set column captions.
Use Template - allows you to use preconfigured template desktop for data
window creation.
Enable delete series - if checked, Delete command for
plot viewer can delete series objects.
Copy properties - duplicate settings from active data window when you create
new data window.
If you check "Save settings on exit" flag, Application Properties will be
remembered in the Windows registry.
