To offer the user a familiar environment, operation is very similar to the operation of Windows user
interfaces. All dialogs and tables are made up of known elements, e.g.
selection lists
check boxes
or entry fields
A blue frame indicates that the selected item is active. In the highlighted element, entries can be made.
Clear settings with the aid of independent dialogs
A separate dialog window is opened for each menu item. The dialogs can be operated independently of
each other, i.e. none of the dialogs requires that settings in other dialogs have to be completed before it
can be closed. This ensures flexible operation at all times.
The Winbar gives an overview of dialogs and simplifies their access.
The dialogs are displayed on top of the block diagram but they can be hidden, i.e. displayed in the form
of a button in the Winbar of the main window (
Ctrl
+
H
key combination). This corresponds to
Windows' task bar and makes room on the screen for other displays that may be required but the
setting dialogs can thus be accessed any time.
The keys are assigned simple functions
Most key combinations directly perform a simple function. Since a great number of settings can thus be
made by a keystroke, operation is easy. For instance, the
Esc
key closes the active dialog.
