Nicolet Summit computer uses single-click instead of traditional double click with the mouse
Issue
The onboard computer in the Nicolet Summit instruments uses single-click functions with the mouse to navigate in Windows instead of the more traditional double-click behavior.
Environment
Nicolet Summit FTIR
Resolution
The single-click versus double click mouse behavior is a setting in Windows File Explorer.
This behavior can be set within Windows to either mode of operation.
Follow the steps below to change the behavior:
- Open File Explorer on the Summit computer
- Click the View menu
- Click on the Options button
- On the General tab select either "Single-click to open an item" or "Double-click to open an item"
- Click Apply and then Ok
Analysis
The single-click behavior is used more often with touchscreen devices.
Since the Nicolet Summit instruments are available with touchscreens, the single-click behavior is configured at the factory.
When the instrument does not have a touchscreen or it is desired to have the traditional double-click behavior, this setting can easily be changed within the Windows OS.
