Key Regions of the Graphical User Interface
PAMGuard features a dynamic, multi-panel user interface. The key regions of the interface are:
Main menu
Tabbed panel area
Side panel
Status panel
Main menu
The menus in PAMGuard are generally dynamic, i.e. items on the menus change depending on the current user-selected view and/or plugins selected. Most of the settings are accessible through the main menu items, although some actions are carried out exclusively through mouse operations.
Tabbed panel area
The tabbed panel area gives access to the available plugin module views, by clicking on the appropriate tab. As you change from one tabbed panel to the next, the menu and side panel items update accordingly.
Side panel
The side panel allows you to view information from plugin modules, even when their tabbed panel are not selected.
Status panel
The status panel is by default located at the bottom of the PAMGuard window. This view provides information on PAMGuard’s current status, for example, which sound card is running.
