The Table Menu Button

The Table menu (6.14) allows you to select what is to be displayed in the main widget. Depending on your selection different actions are bound to the mouse buttons, e.g.: if the ADCs are selected, a MB-1 reads the ADC.

Notice that a blank table can be selected to avoid program slowdowns due to motor position updates. This feature is of special importance, if some of the motors are connected by slow busses. The functions Spectra::TkITableBlank() and Spectra::TkITablePop() can be used in Perl scripts to control this feature.
