As well as controlling the zoom, the View menu contains the following options…

The Page List command can be used to show or hide the left-hand pane of the

User Interface window. If the page list is disabled, even more space is made
available for editing the display. The

F4

key toggles the page list on and off.

The Hold Aspect command can be used to control whether or not Fieldbus

Gateway Manager attempts to maintain the aspect ratio of the display. If aspect
holding is enabled, a figure that would appear as, say, a circle on the Gateway
will appear as a perfect circle on your PC. If this mode is not selected, Fieldbus
Gateway Manager can expand the display page to use more of the PC’s screen,
but at the expense of some distortion.

Other options are available during page editing, and are described below.

To create, rename or delete display pages, click on the left-hand pane of the User Interface
window. The various commands on the Page menu can then be used to make the desired
changes. Alternatively, right-click on the required display page, and select from the menu.

To select a page, either click on the page in the page list, or use the up and down arrows in the
toolbar. Alternatively, you can use the

Alt+Left

and

Alt+Right

key combinations to move

up and down the list as required. These keys will work no matter which pane is selected.
