The generator project type is given in the top left corner of the main generator
screen and also in the title bar of the application.

5.3.3 Using the CR5000 or CR9000X Program Generator

Upon opening an existing or new generator project, the main screen of the
RTDAQ Program Generator application appears:

You can access the functions of the CR5000 and CR9000X program
generators by using the buttons that appear on the left side of the generator
window. Use these buttons to set various options for the program to be
generated. After making changes, review the information in the summary pane
on the right side of the generator display. This contains an overview of what
will be in the generated program based on the program settings already created
within the generator application for this particular project. Versioning
information about the CR5000 and CR9000X program generators is also
given.

By hovering the mouse over each button, the user can display a quick help
reminder in the status line at the bottom of the screen, and a pop-up window
with the same text. For more information about each of these buttons and its
function, press the Help button from the generator window to access the online
help screens.

To access the online help system in the Windows Vista operating
system, you will need to download the Win32Help program
from Microsoft’s website. You will be prompted to do this the
first time you open the help system if it has not already been
done previously to accommodate the help system of another
software program.
