Control Output Window and Operation Buttons

Before using the „Start“ button, there is no action of encoding or decoding datasets or changing parameter datasets. In this phase and after working, the program can be leaved by pressing the “Exit” button at any time. Using the „Reset“ button, you can switch all fields to their default values at these phases. If not doing so, messages of the last program task(s) are preserved during the processing of further tasks, but identical datasets are overwritten or modified again.

If, for your opinion, you have entered and chosen all relevant information, you can start the real program task by using the “Start” button. Before starting the program will again inform you about unconfirmed key and overlay information and will show you further warnings, so you have the possibility to put off the start of the program again. If important information is missing, the program stops the trial of starting in any case with a detailed error message. After correction of the errors, you can try to start the program again.

If the program shall report its activities, the names of all processed datasets and directories are written to the screen and to the control dataset during the processing, so every step can be controlled by you actual and later.

If a program task is finished, the operation buttons are displayed and activated again. If you move the mouse pointer in the control output window and this window covers more than 2 message lines, the control output window is faded up to the right lower corner of the main input mask so you can read the messages much better. As soon as the mouse pointer leaves the control output window, this window is scaled down to its initial size.
