Section 3.3. Options Menu

The Options menu allows for direct navigation to the seven tab pages which include the keypad calculator, the expression evaluator, two separate data tables as well as controls for speech output, the format and sound characteristics of AudioPlots, and visual display options. The Options menu also contains two separate toggle items: one for the Self-Voicing feature, the other controlling the movement of the focus on the keypad calculator.
The eight items of the Options menu are:

Calculator

Transfers focus to the keypad calculator tab page.

Evaluator

Transfers focus to the expression box on the Evaluator tab page.

Data Set 1

Transfers focus to the expression box on Data Set 1 Tab page.

Data Set 2

Transfers focus to the evaluator box on the Data Set 2 Tab page.

Plot

This item has a submenu with four items: Source, Axes, Frame, and Range. Selecting a submenu item transfers the focus to that area on the Plot tab page.

Speech

This item has a submenu with six items: Sound Effects, Self Voicing, Voices, Pitch, Rate, and Volume. Selecting a submenu item transfers the focus to that area on the Speech tab page.

Wave

This item has a submenu with five items: Volume, Play time, Frequency range, Wave type, Reflection, and Wave Name. Selecting a submenu item transfers the focus to that area on the Wave tab page.

AutoReturn Toggle

When this item is checked the focus automatically shifts to the equals key after every key press on the keypad calculator. When this item is not checked, the calculator focus remains on the last key last pressed. Thus, when AutoReturn is checked, pressing ENTER after another key evaluates the expression, but when unchecked, pressing ENTER just pushes the last button again.

Self-Voicing

When checked the program is self-voicing. The shortcut key to toggle this is CTRL F12.
