Toolbar
The toolbar shown below the Menu bar is made up of functional graphical elements (icons, adjusters, etc.) linked
to the most frequently used system controls.
Note
The default workspace is described here, for custom settings see corresponding sections of this manual.
Rest the cursor over the icon for two seconds without clicking on it to see its
explanatory tooltip. Right-clicking on some toolbar icons calls up a context
menu with other functionality choices. For instance, a user can move directly
to the
Preferences
setting (by clicking on the
Edit
item) or to change a mode
of value depiction.
Whenever a function is selected, the corresponding icon is highlighted
(orange background) to indicate the function is active.
Note
If any icon represents a menu function, refer to the corresponding menu for its
description.
Undo / Redo
The undo / redo buttons assist undoing / re-running the last actions. Actions used in history are
accessible by clicking the down arrow. They can be re-used separately, or any continuous sequence of
actions can be selected and re-used as a group.
Note
Some particular actions (alignments etc.) cannot be undone, and sometimes the system clears the history of actions.
Sample exchange

Electron beam / Camera / Nav-Cam
Selecting an item from the drop down list makes the display or single screen show the

imaging with respect to the source, column, scanning,
and detector settings. Only one is selected at any given time, but they can be operated
independently for each display.
Another way to change the beam for a particular imaging is clicking on the image databar
beam icon.
