Using the main menu

The main menu provides six sub-menus, and two menu items. Hide will hide the application, to provide more free space on the desk top. Quit will exit from the application. It is normally visible at the upper left corner of the screen.

Using the Info sub-menu

The info menu button brings up the info panel to provide information about the program. The info panel lists the authors and the release number of the program. The help button provides a quick and simple interface to the documentation.

Using the File menu

The file sub-menu is not currently used, but may be used in a later release.

Using the Edit menu

The edit sub-menu provides text editing tools. These commands may be used to select, cut, and paste various text fields. See the NeXT documentation for more information.

Using the Tools menu

The tools menu allows the user to activate any of the main tools that are provided by the ccd control program: The set up panel, the exposure-control panel, the main-display window, the display-control panel, the zoom window, the plot window, and the values window. Each tool is described in its own section of the documentation. (The display control panel does not have a separate manual section, because it is so closely tied to the main display window.)

Using the windows menu

The windows menu is a standard NeXT menu item. See the NeXT documentation for more information.

Using the services menu

The services menu is a standard NeXT menu item. See the NeXT documentation for more information.
