1.4.4    Explanation of Tool Buttons   
 
The FL Solutions 2.1 program provides five kinds of toolbars as shown below.    You can also select a 
command by pulling down each menu from the menu bar.    But for quick and easy operation, it is 
advisable to use these tool buttons.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fig. 1-41  Toolbars 
 Standard toolbar 
Has buttons related to printing and file 
handling. 
Instrument toolbar (displayed in monitor 
window) 
Has buttons related to 
spectrophotometer control such as 
wavelength drive and automatic pre-
scanning. 
Measurement toolbar (displayed in monitor 
window) 
Has buttons related to measurement 
such as analysis method setting and 
sample name input. 
Spectrum toolbar (displayed in data 
processing window) 
Has buttons related to spectral display 
such as auto scaling, ruled line 
indication and spectrum tracing. 
Processing toolbar (displayed in data 
processing window)

The following tables present the functional descriptions of the buttons on each toolbar.     
The function keys on the keyboard can also be utilized for the same purpose.    For the functional 
assignment to each function key, refer to 1.5.   
 
Table 1-1  Standard Toolbar  
 
Button Function Button Function 
 Creates a new analysis 
method/sample table.  Opens the print window. 
 Opens data files.  Indicates the present status of 
the connected 
spectrophotometer. 
 Opens a data file in the print 
preview mode.  Indicates the information (version 
number, etc.) on the FL 
Solutions program. 
 Saves the current file.  Calls up the help window. 
 Stores a selected character string 
or graphic item into the clipboard.  Brings the monitor window to the 
forefront.

Table 1-3  Spectrum Toolbar  
 
Button Function Button Function 
 Restores the scale to its original 
condition.  For display in a contour map. 
 Indicates ruled lines.  For display from the front. 
 Indicates a bird’s-eye view.  For display from the left. 
 For display from the rear.  Automatically sets the scale. 
 For display from the right side.  Displays a dialog box to allow 
change of sample 
name/comment.

Table 1-4  Instrument Toolbar  
 
Button Function Button Function 
 Performs wavelength drive.  Restores the scale to its original 
condition. 
 Performs automatic pre-scanning.   
This is a function for automatic 
search of the optimum excitation 
and emission wavelengths for a 
sample.  Adopts auto scale for vertical-
axis display so that you can view 
the entire spectral graph. 
 Conducts zero-point adjustment. 
Zero point with the shutter closed 
is adjustable.  Effective for 
higher-accuracy measurement.  Indicates ruled lines. 
 Enlarges the vertical axis double.  Magnifies the present data and 
status. 
 Reduces the vertical axis to half.
