CHAPTER 4 - SYSTEM OPERATIONLightsheet Z.1 Introduction to the Software Application Layout Carl Zeiss02/2013 000000-1790-528 15Fig. 16 ZEN window Layout configurationMore features of ZEN include:− The user can add more columns to the Left Tool Area or detach individual tools to position themanywhere on the monitor. To add a column, drag a tool group by the title bar (e.g. "AcquisitionParameter") to the right and a new tool column automatically opens.− To detach a tool, click on the little icon on the very right end of the blue tool header bar or drag itby this blue header bar to where you want it (Fig. 16). To bring the detached tool back to itsoriginal position in the tool group you can drag the tool by its blue header to its original position,which is shown by an identical grey header; or click on the dock symbol at the right hand side ofthe blue or grey header. A fourth option is to double click on the grey header at the originalposition in the tool group.− Another unique feature is the scalable ZEN interface. This Workspace Zoom allows adjustment ofthe ZEN window size and fonts to the situational needs or your personal preferences (Fig. 16).− Setting up conventional microscopy software for a specific experiment can take a long time and isoften tedious to repeat. With ZEN these adjustments have to be done only once – and may berestored with just two clicks of the mouse. For each type of experiment one can now set-up andsave the suitable Workspace Layout. These configurations can also be shared between users.− For most controls, buttons and sliders, a tool tip is available. When the mouse pointer is kept overthe button, a small pop up-window will display which function is covered by this tool/button.
