Workspaces
AutoCAD workspaces are sets of menus, toolbars and dockable windows (such as the Properties palette, DesignCenter, and the Tool palettes window) that are grouped and organized so that you can work in a custom, task-oriented drawing environment.

3D Dashboard
The dashboard consists of a set of control panels organized by function. For example, the top control panel contains commands that create and modify 3D solids; the second control panel contains commands and controls used to navigate 3D models.

The TriKinetics Drosophila Activity Monitoring System consists of one or more Activity Monitors, a Power Supply Interface Unit and Power Supply, and a host Macintosh or Windows PC for data collection. Each monitor uses an onboard microprocessor to independently detect and count activity events, and at periodic intervals to upload the activity totals to the host computer.

The monitors are connected to the Power Supply Interface Unit by a network of conventional 4-wire telephone cables which supply operating power and lines for data transmission. Monitors may be plugged and unplugged from the network at will without disturbing the activity of other monitors.
