18. The Menu System<br />

18.3.1 Menu Bar<br />

The menu bar is the top line in the menu window and contains a number of drop-down<br />

menus. The first two allow to configure the menu (fonts and colors), the data structure (data<br />

file path and extensions) and the processing setup (campaign and session). See Section 18.4.1<br />

for details on the configuration of processing defaults. The configuration drop-down menu<br />

also contains the Quit-button (see Section 18.9.3).<br />

The next few drop-down menus provide the tabs for accessing the processing programs. They<br />

are ordered in a logical sequence representing the processing parts successively executed in<br />

an analysis procedure (import of data, preparation of orbits and Earth orientation parameters,<br />

data processing). The Service-button offers a variety of tools such as the <strong>Bernese</strong><br />

simulation program, browsing of observation files, checking of residuals, comparison and<br />

manipulation of coordinate files. This menu item also provides the possibility to browse<br />

program output or error message files (see Section 18.6).<br />

Through the Conversion-button the programs for converting binary files into ASCII or<br />

vice versa can be accessed. In addition you find there programs to extract information from<br />

SINEX files and to convert <strong>Version</strong> 4.2 -style files into <strong>Version</strong> <strong>5.0</strong> -format (see Chapter 24<br />

for more details on this conversion capability).<br />

The user may add his own programs to the menu system. Such programs have to follow<br />

a few rules which are described in Section 18.9.6. The programs are accessible with the<br />

User-button.<br />

Using the keyboard the drop-down menus may be activated using the “Alt-” sequences.<br />

The underlined characters are those that have to be used. If the drop-down menu is open<br />

only the underlined letter is necessary to continue navigation.<br />

18.3.2 Command Bar<br />

The command bar below the panel area provides the functions for navigating through<br />

the panel, to execute the programs, and to view the program output files. Unlike in earlier<br />

versions of the <strong>Bernese</strong> <strong>GPS</strong> <strong>Software</strong>, the new version allows to navigate backwards through<br />

the input panels by using the buttons^Top (to go to the first input panel of a given program)<br />

and ^Prev. Only those buttons are active which make sense in a given context. The ^Next<br />

button, e.g., gets inactive if the last panel for a program is displayed. The letter following<br />

the ^-sign in the button names indicates the keyboard-shortcut that may be used together<br />

with the “Ctrl”-key to activate the corresponding function.<br />

After pressing the ^Run button the edited input file is saved and the main program is<br />

started (either in foreground or background, see Section 18.4.4) using the current options.<br />

Alternatively the ^Save and Save^As buttons that allow to store the edited options without<br />

starting the program. The input file may thus be prepared for a later execution of the<br />

program run outside the <strong>Bernese</strong> menu system (see Section 18.8). The Cance^l button<br />

discards the changes in the input file.<br />

The ^Output button allows to view the program output file after executing the program. If<br />

an error output file was specified, this file is displayed, too, if an error or warning message<br />
