Some of these menu items have short-cuts using toolbar buttons. See
Toolbar
Toolbar
The toolbar provides the following one-click functions:
Open
Opens a file which contains parameters for the device.
A dialogue will appear, inviting you to choose a file to
open.
Save
Saves the current settings. If you have previously
opened or saved a file, the configuration will be saved
in the same file name, otherwise, a dialogue will
appear inviting you to enter a file name.
If the settings have not changed since you last saved
or opened a file, the Icon will appear greyed out,
indicating that a save is not necessary.
Online
Goes online/offline to/from the network. If a device
cannot be found, an error will be reported. While
PodWare remains on-line, this toolbar button is
coloured green. It is red when off-line.
Wink
Flashes the indicators on the device (if online), to assist
device identification, and as a quick check that
communications are working. This only works when
on-line.
If you place the mouse cursor over a toolbar, text fill appear
describing the action of the button. If this text does not show,
click on the panel background.
