To set workspace preferences:
# Open the '''Preferences''' window by selecting '''File''' in the main menu and then clicking '''Preferences'''; the window can also be opened by using '''ALT+F, ALT+F ''' keyboard shortcut sequence.
# Select the '''Workspaces''' tab.
# To open Workspaces on startup, select the '''Open Workspaces on Start''' checkbox; clear the checkbox to not open any Workspaces on startup.
'''Toolbars''' provide convenient access to commonly used functions. These functions can also be accessed by using the menus, but the toolbars let you do it with just one click.
There are six seven toolbars: Main, Chart Analysis, Command Line, Control, Drawing, Main, Resolution and ResolutionData Playback. Any of the toolbars can be made floating, allowing them to be positioned anywhere, or hidden if they are not needed.
<br>
To redisplay a toolbar select '''View''' in the main menu, then click Toolbars''' and check the toolbar that is to be displayed.
The Resolution toolbar can also be hidden or redisplayed by clicking the '''Resolution''' [[File:ResolutionResolution_10.png]] icon.
<br>
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Toolbars' last chosen positions are retained the next time that the application is started.</div>

=== Resizing Floating Toolbars ===
A floating toolbar can be resized the same way as any other window.
