Customising the software interface
In addition to the options available as part of the Workspace specification, several
further features provide control over how the software is presented to the user.
Options
The options window provides access to various user preferences and allows secu-
rity to be enabled/disabled. Selection of the options available will enable them for
use in the associated software control windows. If they are not selected they will
not be available for use.
Note
Some options are only available with a feature key installed. Please con-
tact your Malvern representative for more information.
From the Application button menu choose Options to display the Mas-
tersizer 3000 - Options window. Then click the required link on the left to view
its corresponding settings.
