Menu bar

Here all basic settings can be made, e.g. opening and saving an 
application, selecting the frame grabber, specifying a password, processing 
a spreadsheet, etc.

Spreadsheet

The spreadsheet is a special 
dialog box for displaying and 
optimizing the individual 
parameters and results. The drag 
& drop facility can be used to 
optimize limit values. Statistics can 
be prepared and checking results 
assigned to the interfaces. Action 
commands assist in analysing test 
objects which have been 
recognized as being faulty.

Vertical toolbar

The icons on the left-hand bar are 
used to select a checker. With an 
icon from the right-hand bar, the 
checker window shape can be 
selected. The size and position of 
the window defined can be modified 
at will using the mouse.

Status bar 

Information about the effect of selecting a 
menu item or icon is provided here.
