Lesson 2: Viewing
and Resizing Panes
Because plate documents can display setup and analysis data in multiple views
simultaneously, the SDS software has been designed with several navigational
devices to help manage the information. This lesson will teach you to use the different
aids to reduce screen clutter and ensure efficient use of the software.
Exercise 1: Resizing Panes, Views, and Plots
You can resize the panes, views, and plots of plate documents by moving the grey
lines dividing them horizontally and vertically.
To illustrate the this feature, resize the plate grid pane horizontally as follows:
Step Action
1 Click and drag the grey line dividing the plate grid and well inspector to the right.
The software expands the plate grid and table pane to the new width.
2 Using the grey dividing lines, resize other elements of the plate document until
comfortable using the feature.
Exercise 2: Maximizing/Minimizing Panes, Views, and Plots
You can maximize the panes, views, and plots of plate documents by clicking the
sizing buttons embedded within the grey dividing lines.
Note Sizing buttons are the arrow-head marks ( ) that appear between adjacent
elements of the plate document. When clicked, a sizing button hides the element to which it
points.
To illustrate the maximize/minimize feature, maximize the plate grid as follows:
Step Action
1 Click the down-arrow sizing button ( ) in the divider between the plate grid and the
table pane to maximize the plate grid vertically.
The software maximizes the plate grid by minimizing the table pane.

2 Click and drag the grey divider at the bottom of the plate document to restore the
table pane to its original size (using the action described in Exercise 1 above).
3 Using the sizing buttons, maximize/minimize other elements of the plate document
until comfortable using the feature.
