This topic provides a quick reference guide on the actions needed to configure the Analyzer
windows, control the data that is displayed,
and navigate the displays. The information is presented in a single topic so that it is easy to
print.
Often you can perform an action in three ways: choose a menu item, click a toolbar
button, or type a key sequence. The key sequence is included for accessibility. In the
descriptions of the actions, the choice of a menu item or mouse action is given first.
The other choices are given in parentheses. If the menu item has a corresponding button
in the toolbar, the button icon followed by the word "button" is given, then the key sequence.
The topic is divided into the following sections.
