When the program is run for the first time, depending on how the program is to be used it may require some settings to be modified. To facilitate this the Settings window will be displayed automatically. (The Settings window can be displayed later by pressing the Settings button in the toolstrip).


A number of settings have default values, seen below on the right-hand side of the Settings window:



The following settings should be reviewed and values entered if required before continuing:
