2 Introduction to the CAPS user interface
Main window
The main window displays the CAPS design entry forms.
The window may consist of multiple panes, depending on
the current design function.
Figure 1: CAPS user interface shows an example of a
typical design window with two panes.
1. A navigation pane appears on the left.
2. A current work pane appears on the right.
Some modes of operation may also have function tabs
across the top of the work window, as shown in Figure 1.
