TOOLBAR

TOOLBAR contains a set of icons/buttons for the most-used JAGUAR features. Most of the icons toggle the corresponding functionality ON and OFF. Many of the icons also rotate the available values when clicked on.

TOOLBAR contains the following icons:

• WWW - Open/close JAGUAR's built-in browser window (see WWW).

• HOME - Jump directly to HOME from any JAGUAR display.

  • Second click enables HOMESCAN (the HOME icon is red when the HOMESCAN is enabled, see HOMESCAN for more information).
  • Third click disables HOMESCAN.

• SAVE - Left-click saves the current HOME spectrum to the hard disk for further use.

  • The spectrum file is saved to the SCANS subfolder of the recording output folder.
  • This save can also be made automatically by enabling AUTOSAVE (the SAVE icon is red when AUTOSAVE is enabled, see SETTINGS > SYSTEM > AUTOSAVE for details).

• HIRES - Start/stop the high-resolution SPECTOR mode. When HIRES is enabled, the SPECTOR accuracy is 0.1Hz (normally 0.5Hz). HIRES requires SETTINGS > SPECTOR > FAST_CALIBRATE enabled.

• JAGRUN SCRIPT - Default commands for the currently-active JAGRUN script.

  • You can edit the script field for temporary changes if needed (see JAGRUN and GOKEYS).

• JAGRUN MENU - A list of the available JAGRUN scripts.

  • You can change the script contents permanently, or add new scripts to this menu (see JAGRUN and GOKEYS).

• JAGRUN - You can fully automate your standard file/frequency scanning with JAGRUN scripts (see JAGRUN).

• USA - "U.S. CONFIG button". Special services for USA to control the patterns / map displays (call signs <> formats) / database (standard TURTLE <> TIS). More information below.

• DAYLOG - Add a bookmark (= a TIMESTAMP/FREQUENCY pair with "UNID" text) to DAY.LOG. See DAYLOG.

• RECORD - Start/stop continuous recording.

• DAYZONE - Toggle the dayzone/grayline simulation on/off (see DAYZONE).

• SCISSORS - Start/stop flushing the output audio to CLIPPER (JAGUAR's built-in audio editor). See CLIPPER.

  • If you have defined an audio LOOP before clicking SCISSORS, you can choose if you want to extract that part of the wideband file into a smaller wideband file (limited by the LOOP). See CHOP.

• PREV FILE - Jump to the previous file.

• PAUSE/MUTE - Toggle PAUSE ON and OFF (or MUTE ON and OFF in the LIVE mode).

• NEXT FILE - Jump to the next file.

• FREQ SCROLL - Toggle the frequency-scrolling mode ON and OFF.

• MAP SYSTEM - Rotate the map styles displayed (STANDARD > BEEHIVE > CATMAP).

  • STANDARD is the default and normally in use.
  • BEEHIVE and CATMAP are special maps used in the presentation of your DX history (see BEEHIVE and CATMAP).

• LOOP - Repeated audio looping.

  • First click: set the audio loop start.
  • Second click: set the audio loop end.
  • Third click: release the loop and their markers. See LOOP.

• STICKERS - Create a SCREENSHOT with stickers, see STICKERS.

• 9 kHz - Set a frequency stepping of 9 kHz for EU/AF/AS/OC stations.

  • Note that the selected stepping (from 9 kHz up to COMPARE) can be released only by setting a different stepping mode (9 KHZ / 10 KHZ / VFO / SHORTWAVE / SIXPACK / COMPARE)

• 10 kHz - Set a frequency stepping of 10 kHz for NA/CA/SA stations.

• VFO - Select the VFO frequency list for stepping. In addition to the standard VFO (defined in WORKSET), you can define a maximum of 10 alternative VFO lists called "DIALS".

  • If you have defined one or more DIALS, clicking this icon prompts the VFO selection menu. See DIALS and VFO.

• SHORTWAVE - Jump to the active shortwave frequency, and switch to a frequency stepping of 5 kHz.

  • The active shortwave frequency is set by manually entering the frequency and pressing ENTER. The SW button will remember the last used shortwave frequency. See SHORTWAVE.

• SIXPACK - Simultaneous control of six user-defined frequencies. See SIXPACK.

• COMPARE - Enter the mode where you can switch (or compare) between the two lastly tuned frequencies.

• COBRA - Demodulate the audio from the highest-peaking carrier frequency around the nominal. See COBRA.

• LIVE<>ARCH - Toggle the LIVE mode and the currently-active ARCHIVE file. See LIVE MODE and ARCHIVE MODE.

• WALLPAPER - Rotate the main wallpapers (HOME > YAS > MAPS). See WALLPAPER.

• TIMEWHEEL - Toggle the TIMEWHEEL mode ON and OFF. See TIMEWHEEL.

• KALIBRATE - Calibrate the frequency display. See KALIBRATE.

• FLAGS - Show the known offsets as vertical "flagpoles". See FLAGS.

• ZOOM +/- - Rotate the SPECTOR resolutions (SMALL > MEDIUM > LARGE > GIANT).

  • The number within the icon shows the current SPECTOR zoom level (1 = smallest, 4 = highest).

• CLEAR - Toggle the "clean display" on <> off. See CLEAR.

• FILEMAIL - Transfer files between your JAGUAR PCs. See FILEMAIL.

• TEXTPADS - Small notepad-style editors for JAGUAR text files. See TEXTPADS.

• APPLETS - Individual (or all) applets can be launched from the popup menu. See APPLETS.

• SETTINGS - Toggle the SETTINGS dashboard on <> off. See SETTINGS.

• INFO - Show the INFO popup menu with the following menu items:

  • INFOBOX: Show INFOBOX (see the INFOBOX help)
  • KEYBOARD: Show the keyboard help (see KEYBOARD)
  • CONTACT: Show the contact information

• OPEN - Open a new archived wideband file for playback.

• KIT - Minimize JAGUAR into the KIT mode (see KIT).

• SHUTDOWN - Show the popup menu for shutdown/reset services, including the following options:

  • REBOOT PC: Reboot the computer.
  • POWERSAVE: Hibernate the computer.

  • RESET: Close and restart JAGUAR and delete the internal restart information (= the SYSTEM.INI and/or SETUP.INI files).

    • Recommended as the first action if there are any kind of strange JAGUAR problems in playback/startup.

  • RESTART: Close and restart JAGUAR.

  • SHUTDOWN: Shutdown JAGUAR.

HOW TO

A brief summary of each toolbar function is presented above, more details can be found in the item-specific HELP sections. The multi-purpose "USA button" is described below.

"USA or U.S. CONFIG button"

The "USA button" can be used for a quick jump to apply "North America DX-settings": the frequency, continent and map are switched to NA (if not yet already). When this is done (or you already have North America as your DX target), JAGUAR shows "Star Spangled Banner" (three stars) instead of the "USA" text when the mouse is over this button. By default, the stars are black.

Each of the stars can be clicked on to control the following things:

• STAR 1: Pattern control. This is the same as pressing ALT-N (see PATTERNS for more details). Clicking this rotates the pattern map modes as follows:

  "ALL PATTERNS (DAY)" - RED star > "ALL PATTERNS (NIGHT)" - RED star >

"SHOW PATTERN (DAY)" - GREEN star > "SHOW PATTERN (NIGHT)" - GREEN star

> "PATTERNS OFF" - BLACK star

When the "SHOW PATTERN" mode is selected, the pattern is shown for the selected station when you move mouse cursor over the station star. You can toggle the DAY <> NIGHT patterns by right-clicking on this star.

• STAR 2: Map control for showing the call signs (BLACK star) <> formats (RED star). The "Callsign mode" is the default.

• STAR 3: Database control for showing the standard TURTLE (BLACK star) <> TIS stations(RED star). The standard TURTLE is the default.
