the specific task at hand. Any number of different workspaces can be saved including a default
workspace which loads when the DGC-2020ES plug-in is started. The Metering Explorer screens and the
Settings Explorer screens can be saved independently into the workspace file. A Comments box is
provided for writing a description or leaving notes for each saved workspace. To access BESTspace, click
View (on the lower menu bar) and hover over BESTspace. Figure 62 illustrates the BESTspace options
found under the View pull-down menu. Figure 63 illustrates the options included in the Load/Save
