Component Overview

Below is a screenshot of xyscan's main window. The exact look and feel will depend on the platform. At startup the scan area is blank.

Scan Area
This is where the plot is displayed and the scan is performed.
Tool Box
Contains tools to define the axis, define how errors are scanned, display the coordinates at the cursor, and optionally manipulate the loaded plots.
Data Table
Displays all recorded scanned data points and error bars. The table is initially not visible.

The Data Tableis a so called docking window. You can detach and re-attach it from the main window at any time. If not visible, use the View menu in the menu bar to open them again. Below is a screenshot with an undocked data table.
