Multitasking
You can start WinSPM in either scan or process mode. You may start the system in both
modes simultaneously, thereby enabling you to perform image processing while
performing measurements.
Main menu
This is the menu bar stretching across the top of the window, opened when WinSPM is in
operation, containing the names of available pull-down menus, the contents of which
differ depending upon operation mode—namely, scan mode or process mode.
Pull-down menu
This menu appears below a button
selected from the main menu or from a window.
To select a menu item from this pull-down menu, move the cursor to the menu item that
you wish to select, using the mouse so that the menu item is highlighted, then click on
the highlighted menu item.
Clicking a mouse
This is an operation in which you move the mouse cursor to a selected point, and then
click the left button once.

click on the left button twice in rapid succession.
Dragging a mouse
This is an operation in which you move the cursor while you hold down the mouse
button.
Input window
This is an area for entering text and numerical values using the keyboard. By moving the
mouse cursor to the position of the input window and double-clicking, you can highlight
previously entered text and numerical values. Directly type new text and values using the
keyboard. Simply typing text and values does not automatically finalize the entered data.
To do this, you must either press the Tab key or select another item using the mouse.
