The toolbar buttons give you instant access to most instrument features without having to navigate
through several menus. Click a toolbar button to display an associated control window on the
lower half of the screen. Each control window provides access to the individual instrument
controls. The display graticule is redrawn to fit in the upper half of the screen.
Not all features of the instrument are accessible from the toolbar. To access some of the less
common controls, you must change to menu bar mode. To do this, click the Menu button in the
upper-right corner of the screen.
