Menu commands

The menu system has been separated into groups of related commands. Each of these menu groups is
explained in more depth in the subsequent sections. The software will only display the menu groups and
commands within each menu group that are appropriate depending on what you are currently doing with the
software.
You may also see that some of the menu commands have a reference after the command name, for example
Ctrl+O. These represent key strokes on the keyboard that instruct the software to perform the appropriate
command, without out the need to select the menu or toolbar command. For example to cause the command
to be performed you must press and hold down the first key mentioned while pressing the other key once.
When letters are used in the key reference, for example Ctrl+O, it does not matter whether or not the caps
lock is on or off.

File Menu

The "File" menu contains commands that generally relate to an iMiniPlus file as a whole.
An iMiniPlus file contains a variety of information that relates to a data set representing
readings that were recorded over a discrete period of time by a single iMiniPlus. The File
menu will appear similar to the following picture.
The following table outlines the commands and the explanation of each command that
may appear in the "File" menu when using the ConsolePro software:
