drop down menu.
The items which end with a row of dots (...) will cause dialogue boxes to appear.
Those with no dots will cause an immediate action. For example

handling unit to begin a cleaning sequence without any further action.
Some items are shown in grey. This indicates that the choice is not currently
available. For example, the Clean item may be grey because no sample handling
unit is installed and the Background, Inspect
because these operations may not be performed until the system has been aligned.
 Button Bar
The Easy button bar (or toolbar) contains a selection of buttons which you can
use to perform the most popular operations. Each button will have its equivalent
commands within the menu bar. For example using the calculate button is
equivalent to using the Calculate result... menu item from the Measure menu.
A button may represent more than one command, for example pressing the setup
button will automatically run you through the three Setup menu items;
Setup-Hardware, Setup-Analysis and Setup-Presentation.
