6.2 Handling in the main window
The handling of the software, concerning the use of the device icons and app icons, can be done in two ways:
 By double-click
 By drag’n’drop
6.2.1 Handling by double-click
If you double-click an app icon it displays a device list in form of a context menu from which you can select a device to
start the app for.
Note: Some apps may restrict the use to a connection via USB cable only. A corresponding pop-up will notify you.

6.2.2 Handling by drag & drop
In order to open an app for a device from the device list, you can simply click the device icon, hold the mouse button
and drag the icon onto the wanted app and then drop it. Unless the current situation disallows opening the app, it will
be started. Otherwise it should pop up a message about why the app couldn’t be started.

6.3 Show device related information
In the device list you can right-click the device icons one to make a window pop up with device information. Example:
In the example with a PSI 5000 series power supply it becomes clear, that this
device does not feature resistance mode (R mode). You can also see that the
unit has no user text assigned (yet). The user text is intended to be used to
distinguish multiple identical devices.
