TankGate. The ViewRTU window contains the standard Windows components such as 

the Application Control menu, minimize/maximize icon buttons, title bar and menu bar.

The TankGate file name is found in both the System Status area and the title bar.

The Tabular

in the menu bar. In the menu description below, each appears next to its associated 

menu option.

The Spreadsheet summary

Mode can be used as a quick method for creating and editing the contents of each point 

by double-clicking on the desired point type. The parameters listed in the Spreadsheet 

summary directly correlate with each defined point.
