All help topics provided in this on-line help are listed in a tree structure on the Contents tab which is displayed to the left of this help page. To select a help topic and show the associated help text, click the desired topic on this tab with the left mouse button.
Help chapters that contain subchapters are represented by a book icon. By double-clicking the book icon 
or by clicking the plus sign in front of the book icon, you can expand the associated branch and display the subchapters available in this chapter. If the subchapters are displayed already, a minus sign appears instead of the plus sign in front of the chapter and the book icon changes to an open book 
.
A help chapter that does not contain any further subchapters is represented as a page with a blue question mark 
.
Not all book icons of the tree structure are assigned help pages. These icons are only provided to show how the help files are organized and thus do not display a help text when clicked with the mouse.
To scroll through the help topics you displayed before, you can use the Back and Forward buttons that are provided on the toolbar of the on-line help.
 |
Click the Back button to scroll backwards through the help topics you have already looked at. |
 |
If you have already scrolled backwards to one or more previously opened help topics, you can click the Forward button to move to the help topics from which you started scrolling backwards. When you click the Forward button, the topics are displayed in exactly the opposite order in which they appeared when you clicked Back. |
 |
With the Home button, you can go back to the startup page of this on-line help. |
If you want to find a specific term in the on-line help, you can use the Index and Search tabs in the navigation bar to the left of the main window.
The Index tab contains keywords which are listed alphabetically. These keywords correspond to the most important topics that are dealt with in the on-line help. Some keywords represent the generic term for further keywords which are displayed one level below and slightly to the left of the parent keyword. The different actions that can be performed with breakpoints, for example, such as setting or disabling them, etc., are indicated below the 'Breakpoints' keyword. By double-clicking the desired keyword with the left mouse button, you can display the help text associated with this keyword in the main window of the on-line help.
If you could not find the required information with the Index tab functions, you can go to the Search tab to search the complete on-line help for any desired term. To do this, enter the search term in the Type in the keyword to find field and click the List Topics button. If the search was successful, all sections of the on-line help in which the term was found are displayed in the Select Topic to display list box. Double-click a section, or highlight the section and click the Display button to show it in the main window of the on-line help. All places at which the search term was found in the section are highlighted in color.
You will often find references to related topics in the help texts. Such references are called 'hyperlinks'. Hyperlinks are displayed underlined and in color. When you place the mouse pointer on a hyperlink, the mouse pointer changes to the hand symbol 
.
To jump to the topic referenced by the hyperlink, click the hyperlink with the left mouse button. With the Back button on the toolbar or with the Back option in the context menu of the help page, you can go back to the previous topic.
To draw your attention to particularly important text sections, they are identified by a symbol and a different text color.
Notes are identified by a symbol with a blue exclamation mark and the text color blue:
| This is a note. |
Warnings are identified by a yellow warning triangle and the text color red:
| This is a warning. |
You can perform most actions in ATCM CONTROL by using various controls, such as menu options, toolbar icons, keyboard input, etc. To give you a quick overview of the controls that are available, they are identified by the corresponding symbols:
| This symbol represents a menu option on the menu bar. |
| This symbol represents a menu option in the context menu. |
| This symbol represents a control that can be clicked with the left mouse button. In most cases, this will be an icon on the toolbar. |
| This symbol represents a key or key combination on the keyboard. |
If you want to copy help texts to the clipboard in order to use them in other applications or if you want to copy code examples in ST to the clipboard for use in your programs, highlight the desired text and press the <Ctrl>+<C> keys or click the highlighted text with the right mouse button and select the Copy option in the context menu. The text is stored to the clipboard.
To paste the text from the clipboard into the target application, place the mouse pointer at the desired paste position in the target application and press the <Ctrl>+<V> keys. Most applications also offer a Paste option on the menu bar and/or in the context menu.

 |
Click the Hide button to hide the navigation bar. |
 |
If you want to display the navigation bar again, click the Show button. |
The type size in which the texts of the help pages are displayed cannot be changed in the on-line help. You need to make this change in the Internet Explorer. Do the following:
To print a help topic, click the Print icon on the toolbar or select the Print option in the context menu.
 |
Click the Print button to print the topic that is currently displayed in the main window of the on-line help. |
If the Contents tab is on top in the navigation bar, you can open its context menu to print a help topic even if it is not currently shown in the main on-line help window. To do this, click the right mouse button on the desired topic in the tree structure of the Contents tab and select the Print option in the context menu.
In both cases, i.e. whether you use the Print icon or the context menu for printing, a dialog box opens in which you can select the scope of the contents to be printed.
The options that are available in the dialog box depend on whether you have started the print operation with the Print button or the Print option of the context menu:
Depending on the language version (e.g. English, German or Italian) in which you have installed Windows on your PC, the system messages will be displayed in the language you have set in your Windows version. Likewise, the language in which the text appears on the standard controls, such as the controls for confirming or canceling an action in a dialog box, may differ according to the Windows version installed. If you have installed an English version of Windows, for example, the button for canceling an action is labeled Cancel, whereas this button is labeled Abbrechen if you have installed a German version.
Please note that the messages and button labels which are described in the help text or appear in the screenshots of the help might be displayed in a different language on your system.
