14. Application Settings

The Xena3918 application features a number of application-level settings which are valid for all test configurations. These can be accessed in the Options menu item as shown in the figure below.

• Set Username

  Allows you to specify the username used when logging in to the Xena testers. The default value will be your Windows username (shortened to 8 characters if longer).

• Ask to Relinquish Ports

  If checked the Xena3918 will prompt you when you try to use a port which is currently reserved by someone else. If unchecked the Xena3918 will unceremoniously relinquish the port and reserve it in your name.

• Open Last Configuration On Start

  If checked the configuration you had open when you last closed the application will automatically be opened the next time you start the application.

• Set Reports Path

  Allows you to specify a different location for the generated reports. The default location is <ProgramData>/XenaNetworks/Xena3918/Reports. The location of <ProgramData> varies between versions of Windows but can be obtained by inspecting the environment variable ProgramData.

• Set Tester Company Name

  Allows you to set the name of the company performing the tests. The default value is Xena Networks.

• Set Tester Company Logo File

  Allows you to specify the path to an image file which will be used as the logo in the reports. The default logo is the Xena Networks logo. The image can be in PNG or JPG format. It should have the approximate dimensions of 150 x 60 pixels and be set to a DPI of 96.

• Open Report in Associated Viewer

  If checked the Xena3918 will attempt to open the generated report in the associated viewer. This is currently only applicable for PDF reports. This requires that a suitable PDF viewer (such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader) is installed on your PC.
