Properties Page

The Properties page will allow you to view and update the current settings that __prod_name is using for all plot windows, plots and acquisition entities. It can be launched from the View menu of __prod_name:



There are also multiple ways to view the Properties Page from the plots and plot windows.  This varies by type, see the reference guide entry for the plots and plot windows of the specific type you wish to change.

Properties Page Overview

1. Acquisition Entities Tab	Clicking on this tab will sort all acquisition entities in the system by type.  Only the properties in the acquisition entity properties section will be available when this tab is selected.
2. Display Tab	Clicking on this tab will sort all of the plots in the system by the plot window that contains them.  All of the properties sections are shown when this tab is selected.  Any acquisition entity that does not have an associated plot will not be able to be edited  when this tab is selected, and will have to be edited from the acquisition entities tab
3. Root Node	The root node is used to group items based on which tab is selected.  You can expand and collapse the items beneath the root node by clicking the + and - next to the root node.  Selecting a root node will allow you to make global changes (See How to Make Global Changes ).
4. Sub Tree	If a root node contains sub items that have different properties, the root node will have one or more sub tree categories.  Selecting one of the sub trees allows you to make global changes to just the items in the sub tree.  Certain options may be globally changed when selecting a sub tree that are not available when selecting a root node(See How to Make Global Changes ).
5. Sub Item	These are the individual items available for property modification.  Clicking on a sub item shows all of the properties for that sub item in the properties sections, and allows you to change its properties.  The name shown here is the name of the acquisition entity (in the case of plots it is the AE that the plot represents, the plot label will be shown after the AE name, if a plot label has been set).
6. Plot Window Properties Section	This section will show all of the properties for the plot window that is associated with the currently selected item.
7. Plot Properties Section	This section will show all of the properties for the  plot that is associated with the currently selected item.
8.  Acquisition Entity Properties Section	This section will show all of the properties for the acquisition entity that is associated with the currently selected item.
