Getting Help

xyscan comes with an extended documentation. A simple help browser allows to navigate through the documentation. That is the one you are using right now. You can launch the browser and view the documentation at any time using Help->Content or by pressing F1.

At the beginning it is also helpful to enable Tool Tips (is on by default). If on and you rest with you mouse over an active element of the user interface, a small text window will pop up telling you what the specific widget does and what it is good for. Once you get more familiar with the program Tool Tips can become annoying. You can switch them off (and on) at any time using the Help->Tool Tips menu item. xyscan remembers your choice between sessions.
