FasTrac Millennium User’s Guide – May 2003
1.5 Starting Your FasTrac Millennium
FasTrac Millennium automatically starts up when you boot up the computer. To manually
start, double-click on the FasTrac desktop icon (shown on the right). Either method
displays the following main FasTrac screen:
To exit the program, select File > Exit or click the Close (X) button in the upper-right corner of
the screen. Subsequent paragraphs describe each screen component.
Program Name and Release Date
The title bar at the top-left of the FasTrac Millennium screen
display is information you will need when calling in for
technical support. The release date is very important in determining which version of software
you are using.
Main Menu Bar
This tool bar provides access to the main pull-down lists, referred to as Main Menus in this
manual, which allow you to access advanced functions of your system. Clicking on a menu title
at the top of the screen opens a pull-down list. To activate a particular function, hold down the
mouse button, place the cursor over your choice on the menu, and release the mouse button.
Hot Buttons
Hot buttons appear just under the Main
Menus. There are two rows of ten symbols
each. You can use these buttons for simple,
one-click execution of system functions. Left-clicking activates the main function of the button.
Some buttons have dual functions, activated by right-clicking the mouse button.
