6.8 Accessibility Aspects

AHF Scope can be used without the help of the mouse.

Every operation can be achieved using the keys, Tab, cursor keys, Enter, and several Hot Keys described in List of Hot Keys. Some of the operations are available in combination with Shift and Control keys. No timeout exist on any of these operations, thus they can be used in conjunction with Sticky Keys and Slow Keys. The navigation contains components from standard Java "Swing" augmented by custom implementation of navigation in components designed for the unique, specialized displays in AHF Scope.

A magnification operation allows to enlarge text and components on panels. AHF Scope's displays are always high contrast, without use of images. They do not change with OS High Contrast mode, and AHF Scope's display or mode of operation does not affect the remaining desktop.

AHF Scope can operate with assistive technology software JAWS from Freedom Scientific, V17 and later.
