File Selection Screen

The File Selection Screen is the default screen when you power-up LabSat 4. It displays the folders and recorded scenario files that are saved on the root of the SSD. Navigate to subdirectories by selecting a directory on the root and press OK to enter it. 

The file selection screen will display up to 256 files per directory. You can use the Up and Down arrows to cycle through the files and available options. 

It also gives you access to the Menu and the option to go Back to the Directory Selection Screen if you need to change the directory.

Record and Replay Screens

When you start recording or replaying a scenario, LabSat 4 will display the Record or the Replay Screen.

From the Record/Replay Screen, you can press the OK button to display the GNSS Monitor in the form of a live constellation histogram. It will display the current satellite levels detected by the internal receiver. You can use the Up and Down buttons to cycle through the histograms for the different constellations.
