2 Emphasis Control System Quick Guide
Using this Quick Guide
This quick guide is intended for use in conjunction with the Emphasis Visualization and
Emphasis Console User Manuals.
This guide assumes that you have a basic familiarity with the Microsoft Windows
®
operating
system, opening and closing files, closing and resizing windows, using Windows Explorer,
and performing basic disk operations.
In order to be specific about where features and commands are found, the following naming
and text conventions will be used:
• Emphasis™ Server (hardware): the computer used to run the Emphasis applications.
This is also referred to simply as the “Server”.
• Emphasis Facepanel (hardware): the control console hardware. This is also referred
to simply as the “Facepanel”.
• Emphasis Visualization (software): the application that resides solely on the Server
and provides WYSIWYG
™ -based functionality.
• Emphasis Console (software): the application that drives the Facepanel. The Console
displays resemble the traditional Facepanel displays, and can be viewed on either the
Server or Facepanel monitors. This application usually remains hidden, as the displays
can be accessed through the Facepanel and Visualization.
• Menus and commands found on the Server are indicated in bold text. For example: In
the File menu, click Open.
• Server keyboard buttons are indicated in all CAPS. For example, TAB or CTRL.
• Facepanel buttons and softkeys are indicated in bold [brackets]. For example, [Stage]
