GORDONS :: RELOADING TOOL

We designed and consider the main menu mostly self-explanatory, so only the toolbar icons are explained here in greater detail:

The toolbar is used to select the most frequently used functions and is located below the main menu.

Let the mouse hoover over an icon for a short description of its function. All icon functions are also available through the main menu.

(Functions from the „File“ menu)

• Create New File (Loading Data)
• Load/open existing file in new tab

(Functions from the „Loading data“ menu)

• Open the PDF document provided by the standardization organization (e.g. CIP).
  • Note that PDF documents are only downloaded from the organization's website (after manual confirmation) if the document has not been already downloaded in the past and stored locally.
  • Once you have downloaded/displayed the pdf document, it will be stored in the folder /pdf in the GRT program directory and will be available the next time you call it up.
