3.6  TTY WINDOW COMMANDS

The TTY Window displays program output in the traditional text form.  (Historical note:  TTY stands for "Teletype", the standard text-only terminal used with early computers.)  OneLiner writes to the TTY Window whenever a text data file is being imported, exported and added to the system.  Various commands give you the option to show the output in the TTY Window. For example, you can output a report of a short circuit simulation in the TTY Window.

The TTY Window opens automatically following certain commands.  For the remainder, you must open the window manually using the TTY Window command in the Main Window, the OC Curves Window and the DS Relays Window.  You can minimize the TTY Window while you view one-line diagram or relay curves.

The program stores the contents of the TTY Window in a buffer.  The size of the buffer grows as more text is put into it, until the size reaches 20,000 lines of text (roughly 250 pages).  Thereafter, any additional text is wrapped around to the beginning of the buffer.  You can clear the TTY buffer at any time with the Menu | Clear command.

You can see the hyperlinks -- which are blue -- when you press the <Ctrl> key while the TTY Window is on top. Pressing on the hyperlink of a bus will take you to the location of that bus on the one-line diagram.

The commands in the TTY Window are described in this section.
