Main window

When you start CSManager, the main window appears. The window is broadly made up of the following areas.

• Menu (top) — the File, Option, Help, and Language menus. These are used to read and write databases and to configure the application.
• Database table (center) — a list of the loaded crystals. Selecting a row updates the crystal information shown below.
• Crystal information (bottom) — displays and edits the cell constants, symmetry, atomic positions, and other details of the selected crystal.
• Search panel (bottom right) — narrows down the loaded database using various conditions.
• Status area (very bottom) — shows loading progress and messages about processing results.

The detailed use of each area is explained on the following pages.

• Menu: Database loading / Import and export / Options and language
