When you initiate the ELF software program, the Main Window is displayed on your computer screen. The Main
Window consists of the Menu Bar, Tool Bar, and Main Status Bar, and may contain one or more Real-time or
Movie Windows
. The window that is selected is considered the active window. Only one window can be active at
one time, and the title bars of the other windows will be grayed out. The Main Window, and its components, are
shown in the figure below.
