Overview

Most analysis routines are located in the command area in the lower right quadrant of geWorkbench. There they share a common framework and a common method for saving parameter settings.

Layout of the analysis framework

Lists

At upper left of the framework is a list of available analysis routines (as loaded using the Component Configuration Manager). At upper right is a list (labeled "Saved settings list") which can store named sets of customized parameter settings for each different analysis.

Analysis Actions

At right are three buttons shared by all analysis components:

Analyze

Launches the currently selected analysis with the specified parameters.

Save Settings

Save the current parameter settings to a named set in the settings list.

Delete Settings

Delete the currently highlighted settings entry from the list.

Analysis Parameters

The parameters and settings for the currently selected analysis component are located in the lower-left portion of the framework.

Creating saved parameter sets

The current parameter settings can be saved by pushing the Save Settings button. A dialog will appear asking for a name for the new set of saved parameters.

In this figure, the default settings have been saved to a set called "Default Settings".

The next figure illustrates changing a couple of parameters and saving them to a new set called "New Settings".

Interplay of parameters and list

The analysis parameters can be restored to their saved values by selecting the desired item on the list.

For most analysis components, when the parameters shown in the graphical interface are made to exactly match those stored in a list entry, that entry will be selected (highlighted). If any change is made so that the parameters no longer match a stored entry, then no entry will be highlighted.
