TEXTPADS

JAGUAR PRO ONLY

TEXTPADS are separate independent text windows for editing textual data.

JAGUAR offers the built-in editing support for the following files:

• LOCAL LOG = LOG.CSV (see LOGGING for more details)
• OFFSETS = OFFSET.TXT (see OFFSETS for more details)
• MSG NOTES = MSG.TXT (see MSG BAR for more details)
• LIFESAVER = LIFESAVER.LOG (see LIFESAVER for more details)
• JIXHISTORY = JIXHISTORY.LOG (see JIX for more details)
• TURTLE = Basic text version of the station database (see TURTLE for more details)

HOW TO

Any TEXTPAD can be opened by clicking the TOOLBAR > TEXTPADS icon and selecting the desired TEXTPAD from the popup menu or using TOP MENU > LOGS (TURTLE is not included in this menu).

A TEXTPAD window contains some tools on the menu bar:

• NEXT: Rotate the standard TEXTPADs by clicking NEXT
• FIND: Open a simple search tool for finding strings from the text
• + and -: Increase/decrease the text size by clicking these buttons
• SAVE: Use the TEXTPAD for editing, and then SAVE the changes (not allowed for TURTLE)

By default TEXTPAD is opened on the left side of the screen as a narrow window, but it can be re-positioned and resized in standard ways during the session. After the JAGUAR restart only the TURTLE TEXTPAD is reopened automatically (using the user-defined size/position) offering a nice way to keep the station database always open on the secondary PC display. One convenient method is also to toggle the TEXTPAD full screen <> narrow window by double-clicking the TEXTPAD title bar.
