Multiple configuration files may be open at the same time. Each file is accessible by clicking on its tab.
Browser Window
This is a typical browser window that allows the user to select items in an expandable tree format. The properties of the selected item will be displayed in the Properties window on the right (see below).
Properties Window
The various properties of the item selected in the Browser are displayed in the Properties window.
Property Controls
These controls allow access to the values of the various properties for the item selected in the
Browser window (see above). Click on a folder in the Browser window to see its properties in the Properties window.
Detached Properties Window
This action will create a detached property window that is separate from the Properties window. See Detached Properties Window for details.
File Tabs
Multiple configuration files may be open at once. Each file is accessible by clicking on its tab.
Status Bar
The Status Bar displays the path to the element selected in the Browser. The text in the Status Bar can be selected and copied into the clipboard. This can be useful when creating a filter file.
There are two formats that the path can be displayed in, selectable in View/Preferences/General/Status Bar:
Object type of selected element
In this case, the type of each object in the path is displayed, as opposed to the instance. Example: Control.FilterList.Filter.MPIFilterConfig.gain.gain.coeff.coeff
Instance name of selected element
In this case the instance name for each element in the path is displayed. Example: Control 0.FilterList.Filter 0.MPIFilterConfig.gain.gain 0.coeff.coeff 7

Normal output Information and warnings. Normal output is displayed in a single tab.
