system, a popup window will ask you if you want to
save this system.

Select this option to go to where system files are
stored on your computer so they can be opened.

NETWORK

an installed system.

FIND SINGLE

This command deletes the currently configured
system in its entirety. HEADS UP: It cannot be

The Layout Menu

UNDOCK
METERBRIDGE

This command detaches the Meterbridge from
FIRSOFT‘s Program window so it can be handled as
separate window. For example, you could drag it to
a second screen or leave it open and viewable when
you hide or minimize the Program window.

SHOW
METERBRIDGE

Select this option to bring up the Meterbridge panel
to the foreground.

DOCK
METERBRIDGE

This command reinserts the Meterbridge in the
Program window, where it reappears as a panel at
the right.

DAY VIEW

Select this option if you want FIRSOFT to be shown
in brighter colors and with higher contrast for use
under daylight conditions.

NIGHT VIEW

This command disables Day View mode. Night View
is the default setting for indoor use. Its contrast
setting is a bit easier on the eyes.

DEF VIEW

Select this option to restore the default window
layout that appears after starting the FIRSOFT
application.
