3.3. User Interface

This Chapter describes the main user interface window of the APEX DV application. The secondary dialog windows that may be displayed while using APEX DV will also be covered here.

Example APEX DV Application Window

After launching the APEX DV application, the main user interface window will be displayed. It has a layout similar to the one shown on the image above. There are two major areas on the APEX DV user interface:

• The tool bar area at the top of the window. This contains the main application menu, various accelerator buttons and some display areas. The accelerator buttons duplicate the most frequently used functions of the menu for quick access. Components in this area will be explained in subsequent sections.
• The data plot area occupies the larger bottom part of the window. This will be discussed in the next Chapter.
