GUI

The GUI page contains display related settings. All of the GUI settings are applied both in RT and on files. On the GUI page there are settings for the Screen update and for Close previous measurement file. Under the GUI main page there are pages for 2D View Settings, 3D View Settings and Static Mesh Objects.

The Screen update options can be used to optimize the performance of the computer. Most of the time 15 Hz is enough for the screen update as the eye cannot register movements faster than 25 Hz.
