user chooses a file in the Isis Explorer tool and either double-clicks the
filename or clicks the right-arrow Play button, the file in Isis that is currently
playing will stop and the new file will be played.
After one or more files are called from Isis Explorer and played back in Isis,
the highlighting of the file(s) in Isis Explorer changes to green to indicate the
file that Isis currently is playing back. See Figure 3-11 for an example of this.
The highlighting status remains in effect for the current session of Isis
Explorer.

Go to positions the current file at specific places in the playback file. Go to has
these options: Start, End, Ping, Time , Location , KP, Event (grayed out), Next
file in time
, Previous file in time, and Specify Search Wildcard.

3.7.1 Start

This option positions the current file at the first ping. The [Home] key is the
keyboard shortcut for this operation.

3.7.2 End

This option positions the file at its end. The [End] key is the keyboard
shortcut for this operation. This option is also useful for displaying the last
section of a file. To play back the last section of a file, press [End], then
press [PageDown] to see the last 500 pings of the file.
Note: If you press [End] while a waterfall is running, it moves to the end of

the file and stops. It is not in Pause mode; it is in end-of-file mode. It
will not restart if you press SPACEBAR, even if At End of File→Go
Back to Start
has been enabled from the File menu. To restart the
file, press [PageDown] or re-open the file from the File menu or
choose At End of File→Go to Next File in Time (if another file
already had been loaded).

3.7.3 Ping

This option allows the file to be positioned at a user-specified ping number.
This is handy if you have identified a location or an object in your file in
terms of its ping number.
If the specified ping number is greater than the number of pings in the file,
the file will be positioned at its end.
