Welcome Window |
|
This chapter contains some basic information so that you get familiar with the software.
We will start by the welcome window.
The welcome window appears when the program is started for the first time.
The following options are available in this window:
| • | Quick Monitoring of Parameters |
| • | New Configuration |
| • | Open Configuration |
| • | Import Configuration |
There is also one more option, Always display welcome window, which will be explained below.
The user can also close this window without selecting any of the options and use his/her own working methodology.
The following figure shows the WPS welcome window.
