BATCH Recipe Editor
10.2 Starting and operating
Note
Recipe editor without opened object (library/master recipe)
If no object is open in the recipe editor, only menu items and functions that are available are
displayed in the relevant bars.
Title bar
The title bar of the main window displays the name of the master recipe, the recipe operation
(ROP) or the library object. Here, you will also find system buttons with which you can do the
following:
● Close the BATCH Recipe Editor,
● minimize the main window to its icon,
● restore the window to its normal size again, and
● maximize the display of the main window.
Menu bar
The menu bar is located at the top edge of the main window. Its functions relate to the current
window opened for editing. You can only select menu commands that are feasible in the current
status of the object. As an example, you can only select the menu command Edit > Delete
when at least one object is selected. Menu items that cannot be selected are displayed in gray.
Toolbar
The toolbar is located below the menu bar. It contains a number of icons with frequently
required menu bar functions. You can see which function is triggered by a button in the toolbar
by positioning the mouse pointer on the button (without clicking). A small box will then be
displayed with the designation. Detailed information about this is displayed in the status bar.
Click on the icon to trigger the function. Icons that cannot be selected are displayed in gray.
Status bar
At the lower edge of the user interface, you will see the status bar that displays important
information and statuses. The information displayed changes depending on the particular
operation and object status.
In the left part of the status bar you will see context-sensitive information, for example
explanations of menu commands, operator prompts or error messages.
In the right part of the status bar, you can see the current user and the current time. In some
situations, a progress bar is also displayed for processes that require longer.
