======Overview compact mode======

In compact mode, the most important input options are summarized in a single input window (left).

**Detailed value entries,** such as powder-specific coefficients and constants, are **hidden** in this mode.

====Input window (left)====

**Use the buttons with the magnifying glass** to select or search for calibre, bullet and propellant powder.

**Input fields** in which you can enter or change values are marked with a small **pen symbol**. **Click in the input field** to edit a value. If you have made a mistake and want to restore the original value, press the **ESC** key or the **Ctrl-Z** key combination for a step-by-step undo. To confirm the entered value, you can click outside the input field or press the **ENTER/RETURN** key.

**A small ruler symbol** is located to the right at the edge of a field. By clicking on this symbol, you can switch the displayed units. The setting is saved and therefore remains in this position.

**As soon as you have accepted/changed a value**, a new simulation calculation is **automatically** performed and displayed in the output window.

**=> More detailed information** and important notes on the input fields and the values to be entered can be found in chapter [[en:doku:inputfields|Input fields & values]].

====Output window (right)====

**In the output window** the simulation results as well as helpful additional information are displayed. **Safety instructions & error messages** also appear here if the input parameters appear implausible, wrong or dangerous to the program.

**Do not blindly rely on error messages! It is possible to enter nonsensical values, which lead to wrong results!**

  * Therefore, check your entries several times.
  * **Measure it!** e.g. case volume and bullet length from the database are **average values**. They vary from manufacturer, lot and in case of used cases also by the weapon used and processing of the case.

**=> A detailed description** of the output window can be found in chapter [[en:doku:outputfields|Result & Output Field]].
