Main window menus
The 'File' menu
File -> Open
Opens an AASI input file. You will be prompted to select the desired file and the simulation state will then be set to be that of the selected input file.

File -> Save input & detector Saves the current state of the simulation as an AASI input file, and saves the detector as well. For more information on detector file management see Loading and saving detector files.
File -> Save input Saves the current state of the simulation as an AASI input file.
File -> Save input as... Saves the current state of the simulation as an AASI input file. You will be prompted for the filename.
File -> Exit Quits the program. Any unsaved changes will be lost!
The 'View' menu
View -> Sketch window
Toggles the sketch window visible. The sketch window provides visual cues to the measurement setup.

View -> Log window Toggles the log window visible. The log window provides a log of the output from the simulation code.
View -> Notes window Toggles the notes window visible. The notes window displays user provided notes about the current input file.

View -> tabs -> Simulator input tab The simulator input page allows you to view the input file that will be generated for the simulation code. It's mostly for trouble shooting or for the curious.
View -> Look & Feel This submenu contains a variable number of entries. The look and feel of the program is automatically determined at startup based on the operating system used. However extensive testing on every OS is practically impossible, so this option is provided should there be problems with the appearance of the program. The contents of this submenu depend on the Look And Feels installed on your system. The 'Metal' one should provide unified cross-platform L&F.
The 'Run' menu
Run -> Run simulation
Runs the simulation with the current state of the simulation options and parameters. For furhter information see Running the simulation using the run menu
Run -> Run geometric efficiency calculation Displays the geometric efficiency calculation window allowing you to calculate the geometric efficiency. For more information see Calculating geometric efficiency using the run menu
The 'Window' menu
Window -> Tile
Tiles all visible windows on the current page.
Window -> Cascade Cascades all visible windows on the current page.
Window -> Minimize all Minimizes all windows on the current page
Window -> Maximize all Maximizes all windows on the current page
The 'Help' menu
Help -> Help
Displays the help browser
Help -> Welcome screen
Displays the welcome page.
Help -> About... Displays the about box with version information and credits.

Plot window menus

The 'File' menu
File -> Open...

Opens a spectrum from a file. The opened spectrum will be added into the plot.

 

Note that when opening a .fig format file, all the existing graphs and annotations will be deleted!
File -> Save currently selected graph to disk Saves the currently selected graph to disk.
File -> Save plot as figure Saves all the graphs in the plot window as a figure.
File -> Print... Prints the plot.
File -> Page setup & preview Lets you control the page orientation, scaling and other options for printing.
The 'Edit' menu
Edit -> Copy Excel format
Copies the currently selected graph in the plot page as an excel format table with two columns: first one with energies and the second one with corresponding number of counts.

Edit -> Copy Matlab format Copies the currently selected graph to the clipboard as a Matlab format vector with two columns: first one with energies and the second one with corresponding number of counts. The clipboard contents can then be pasted into the Matlab command window.
The 'Zoom' menu
Zoom -> Zoom all
Modifies the plot range so that the whole extents of all graphs are visible.
Zoom -> Zoom in Zooms in on the x-axis
Zoom -> Zoom out Zooms out on the x-axis
Zoom -> Pan right Pans the view to the right.
Zoom -> Pan left Pans the view to the left.
The 'Graphs' menu
Graphs -> Remove aal graphs
Removes all graphs from the plot.
Graphs -> Remove currently selected graph Removes the currently selected graph from the plot
Graphs -> Bring currently selected graph to front Brings the currently selected graph to the front, causing the selected graph to be drawn on top of other graphs
Graphs -> Send currently selected graph to back Sends the currently selected graph to the back, causing all other graphs to be drawn on top of the selected graph
Graphs-> Select next graph Causes the next graph to be set as the currently selected graph. Can be used to cycle through the graphs in the plot.
Graphs -> Select previous graph Causes the previous graph to be set as the currently selected graph. Can be used to cycle through the graphs in the plot.
The 'Annotations' menu
Annotations -> Add text
Adds a text annotation. Point the mouse to where you want the text placed and left click to place the text.
Annotations -> Add line Adds a line annotation. Point the mouse to where you want the annotation to begin and left click and drag to place the annotation.plot
Annotations -> Add text tag Adds a text tag annotation. Point the mouse to where you want the text tag placed and left click to place the text tag.
Annotations -> Add line tag

Adds a line annotation. Point the mouse to where you want the line tag to begin and left click and drag to define the line tag.

Annotations -> Remove currently selected annotation Removes the currently selected annotationot.
Annotations -> Remove all annotations Removes all annotations from the plot.
