HOW TO

TOP MENU can be opened by pressing the ENTER key, and the menu items can be scrolled with the mouse wheel or the arrow keys. The desired function can be selected from TOP MENU by a mouse click or by pressing ENTER again.

TOP MENU can also be invoked by right-clicking the graphics screen. This is the default for a mouse right-click in JAGUAR. You can change this default via TOOLBAR > SETTINGS > RIGHTCLICK to any other option listed there. You can exit the menu without any action just by moving the mouse over "X" on the right edge of the menu (no need to click on it), or by right-clicking the graphics screen, if the default right-click mode is used.

TOP MENU > MISC contains three functions which can be accessed only from this MISC menu:

• DELETIONS
• REBUILD YAS
• CHOP (separate help is available for this)

When DELETIONS is selected, a new popup menu is opened. The second menu item can be selected to delete the SCAN files for the currently-playing frequency (= 850 in this example).

When REBUILD YAS is selected, JAGUAR asks for confirmation and if accepted, the current (corrupted or missing) YAS.LOG will be recreated, based on the existing recordings. This function requires that the recordings have been made with JAGUAR.
