Dialog Boxes
In some cases, selecting a menu option or pressing a button activates
a dialog box. This is a box that contains a number of different input
fields relevant to that operation.
You can move the focus from field to field in a dialog box either by
clicking on each entry item with the mouse or by pressing the Tab
and arrow keys to move the cursor from field to field. After
entering/changing any values in a dialog box, press “OK” to accept
the changes and close the dialog.
Help
The SpectrAA software contains extensive Help, which serves as your
primary source of information on how to effectively use the software
and the instrument. The Help consists of contextual help and
multimedia help. The Help also contains an extensive ‘How To…’
section. This section provides many set by set instructions on how to
perform common procedures.
