The user interface is organized around a Menu Navigation bar at the left of the screen and a Working area in the rest of the screen. The layout of the screens is similar throughout the GUI.
In order to explain the layout, we will examine the start-up screen of the Configuration Menu and describe the different components. The screens for the other menus follow the same structure and flow.
