Help Window

The Help Window is a tool for displaying, searching, printing, and converting help files. These files can be easily converted to PDF format if needed.

A complete list of help files available in each module can be accessed via main menu > Help within that module. This is also where the relevant help files are launched from.

Help buttons in some dialog windows allow you to launch individual chapters from the main User Guide, focusing on the functionality of that specific dialog window.

If a hardware keyboard is connected to your device, you can invoke the main help (User Guide) by pressing the F1 key.

Searching

Enter a keyword or phrase to find help pages containing those specific terms. The search engine also finds text that is a likely match, meaning misspelled words, typos, etc.

Switch the control panel (1) to the Search Tab.
Type the search query into the search input box. Then, click the search button next to the input box.
If there are any search results, they are displayed as a page list beneath the search box.
Click on a result item to see the content of the respective page in the viewport (3).

Exporting Help Files into PDF (Portable Document Format)

The help files from the Help window can be converted into PDF format.

The help files are individual .htm pages stored locally on your device. The method for exporting them into PDF depends on the number of pages. In the case of multiple pages, the program merges them and reworks internal links to preserve them in the final PDF file.

If there are multiple pages in the list, i.e., the control panel (1) is visible:

Switch to the Index tab (6).
Click the Merge All button at the bottom of the index tab.
This will merge all individual chapters and pages from the list into a single .htm file.
The new overall .htm file is automatically saved into the Documents folder or a similar location. The location and name of the overall .htm file are displayed in the viewport (3).
Browse to the overall .htm file in a common file explorer of your operating system and initiate printing of the file.
Select the option to print to PDF instead of a hardware printer.

If there is only a single page displayed, i.e., the control panel (1) is not visible:

Click the Print button (14) in the horizontal button bar (2).
Select the option to print to PDF instead of a hardware printer.
