Toolbar
The toolbar provides the following one-click functions:
Open Opens a file which contains parameters for the device.
A dialogue will appear, inviting you to choose a file to open.
Save Saves the current settings. If you have previously opened
or saved a file, the configuration will be saved in the same
file name, otherwise, a dialogue will appear inviting you to
enter a file name.
If the settings have not changed since you last saved or
opened a file, the Icon will appear greyed out, indicating
that a save is not necessary.
Online Goes online/offline to/from the network. If a device cannot
be found, an error will be reported. While PodWare remains
on-line, this toolbar button is coloured green. It is red when
off-line.
Wink Flashes the indicators on the device (if online), to assist
device identification, and as a quick check that
communications are working. This only works when on-line.

If you place the mouse cursor over a toolbar, text fill appear describing the action
of the button. If this text does not show, click on the panel background.
