General usage instructions for data entry.

There are four windows in this view in expert mode. Data entry fields are contained in three of them:

An additional window contains:

  • Drawing (a caliber illustration)

Each edit window row contains two columns: Property and Value

The property column lists all input field parameters. The value column contains the corresponding value along with its dimension. Fields marked with a “pen” symbol can be edited. Fields without a pen symbol contain computed or non-editable values. The “ruler” can be used for switching through alternative dimensions (metric / imperial) and / or modes of calculation.

Different colors are used for these entry fields. Parameter, fields and values for pressure are marked red. Temperature and Sebert-factor (“Sebert'scher Faktor”) in green. Any user entry will change the fields color to yellow and the font to italic, if there was no save to the changes. In this case, the tab header will change the name of the charge to red. After saving changes, the fields will return to their original color and font. Values in dark grey cannot be changed. Values in white identify a value of major importance, while those in light grey correspond to them as minor factors or details. Decimal delimiter is always a dot, even when an input field is in metric mode.

Assistants

Input fields with a preceding yellow asterisk , additionally provide input help via a wizard/assistant. Click on the asterisk to open the respective wizard. In most cases, the wizards provide direct help with a short description.

If not self-explanatory, you will find a detailed description of the respective wizard via the table of contents in the section “Tools & Assistants”.
