it again will restore and activate the previous instance and diagrams.
The Control Builder’s Main Menu is the top-level menu that allows access to drop-down menus that will
navigate you through the application.
A Toolbar at the top of the window offers shortcuts to some of the menu items. The toolbar can be
displayed or not displayed in the “View” Menu.
A Status bar at the bottom of the window indicates information about the current window, the time, the
date, download, upload, monitoring, and network information. This status bar can be displayed or not
displayed in the “View” Menu.
