What is it?
A Task Window is a specific arrangement of tools and information designed to make it easy to perform a particular task. Task Windows can either be a single window or can be split into multiple sub-windows.
By default, you can select Task Windows from a row of Task Window titles list at the top of the AAA main window.
If you can't find the row of Task Window titles, it might not be present on the current Task Window! To add one, open the 🧱 Window Designer and right-click the menu bar, then select Show Setups, or if a menu bar is also absent you can create one (New Bar -> Menu).
What can it do?
Task Windows contain tools and information displays for observing and interacting with recordings and creating your own recordings. AAA consists of a suite of individual tools and displays which can be arranged into one or more sub-windows and moved, scaled and otherwise customised according to your preferences. The arrangement of tools and displays within a Task Window does not affect their functionality: each element visible can be interacted with individually.
To keep your workspace uncluttered and help recording subjects see information intended for them, most Task Windows provided with AAA only include a small subset of the available tools and displays. You can find other tools and displays on other Task Windows, or you can add anything you need into a Task Window of your own.
When AAA starts the default Task Window is suitable for recording speech audio and ultrasonic (Telemed Micro or EchoB) data. Other task windows are configured for recording different combinations of data and for analysis of different kinds.
Adjust an existing Task window
Task windows consist of subwindows. For example, the Record Ultrasonic task window is made up of the following:
Menubar: Main menu bar and task bar
Prompt Display
Waveform Chart
Ultrasonic Chart
Prompts/recordings selection window
Ultrasonic display
Menu Bar / Button Bar
Status Bar
The size of each subwindow can be adjusted by clicking and dragging on the boundary between subwindows. Any adjustments are not saved unless performed in Design mode (see below). The next time the design window is opened it will revert to the designed layout.
How can I find Task Windows?
Several Task Windows are provided by default with a new installation of AAA, which you can select from a row of Task Window titles at the top of the AAA main window. You can freely edit these, create new ones, and move individual Task Window setups around as files on your computer.
