STATUSBAR contains four green service buttons on the left, four special buttons on the right, and several status areas in-between.
Some of the status text displays can be clicked to change the format/contents of the status.
In addition to the status texts, STATUSBAR can display also some informative messages related to the settings/functions activated. These messages normally appear between the buttons in the center area. These message include
• Antenna in use (if defined)
• The name of the VFO/DIAL (if active)
• PAUSE/MUTE text, if playback is paused (ARCHIVE) or muted (LIVE)
STATUSBAR is always visible when Jaguar is active and it contains the following buttons/status texts:
The green service buttons on the left are used to control the automatic background services. When any of the buttons are clicked on, an additional menu will be shown and the user can tick/untick the desired services ON and OFF. If none of the services listed is enabled, the service button is greyed out.
W (Web services) - in V5 SOLAR DATA is the only service in this category.
• SOLAR DATA: If selected, JAGUAR fetches the current space weather data from the internet, refreshing the data every 15 minutes. This data is shown next to W button and on the SPACE WX applet (more information in the APPLETS help).
Y (YAS LOG services)
• YASTHUMBS: If selected, JAGUAR creates/updates the daily thumbnail images from YASLOGs. The thumbnails ("x.gif") are saved in recording-day folders, and can be uploaded to our kapsi.fi server. More information in JAGUAR.INI help (see JAGNET for details).
• YASTRACKER: If selected, JAGUAR collects the listening activity tracking data, i.e. data on how much the user has listened to each frequency in any specific HH'MM. The results are shown on the TRACKBAR display (see TRACKBAR help).
• YASLOGGER: ("always on"), JAGUAR creates/updates YASLOG, one of the main functions in JAGUAR. More details in YAS LOG help.
S (SCANS, or Automatic scanning services)
See SCANS for more details.
M (MESTOR, or Scheduled recording services)
• MOBILE+: If selected, JAGUAR enters into the "MESTOR+" hibernation mode in the battery- driven mobile setup.
• MOBILE-: If selected, JAGUAR enters into the "MESTOR-" hibernation mode in the battery-driven mobile setup where the operating temperature may go below freezing (zero degrees Celsius). See MESTOR help for more details.
• MESTOR: If selected, all scheduled recording services are in use (the default). The user can disable MESTOR temporarily, e.g. during DXpeditions when the conditions are totally off.
STATUS DATA ON THE LEFT
• LO (LO NOISE): Click to toggle LO NOISE ON and OFF. The status colour is red when enabled. More details cn be found in HI & LO HELP.
• Graphical space wx indicators or WIND (SOLAR WIND value). If W > SOLAR DATA is enabled (or was enabled during the recording, if ARCHIVE file is played), by default this status shows the graphical space wx indicators at the time of the recording. You can toggle between the graphical space wx <> WIND by clicking the area.
In the graphics mode, the status area shows four space weather values – Bz, Kyoto (Dst), A & K indices, and Protons – all marked with GREEN / YELLOW / RED colours, based on their numeric values. If everything is "all green", the space weather conditions are undisturbed. The more you see yellow or red, the more disturbed the conditions are.
• QSA: Signal strength indicator, QSA (S-value of SINPO )with one decimal. Click to toggle between QSA and RF GAIN value (used in AGC).
• DISK USED %: The usage of the currently-active hard disk.
