The Menus
The “File” menu contains all the file commands similar to any standard windows application. Underneath the
menu are commands for creating a new device session, opening a previously saved device session, saving
the current device session or exiting the program. The preferences window can also be accessed under the
file menu.
The View menu contains the available display options. Two of the display options are Manual and Auto. By
selecting these options the user can toggle between the manual and auto-calibration modes. The View menu
also has options for toggling the toolbar or the status bar on or off. The status bar displays helpful information
on the bottom of the screen.
The Action menu contains commands for executing special functions. Some functions under the action menu
may not be available in both the manual and auto-calibration modes. The actions commands are also repre-
sented as button in either calibration mode. The use of these functions are described in more detail later in
this document.
The Log menu contains all the command for setting up the data log file. The use of this menu is explained in
more detail in the data log section.
The Help Menu is similar to that of any windows application. The help files and revision information can be
accessed under the help menu.
Important Note: Revisions previous to and including 1.2.07 are not equipped with help files. This option will
be made available in future revisions. Melexis apologizes for any confusion and encourages customers to
call Melexis for an immediate response to any questions.
