Toolbar

The toolbar contains all the tools for operating AirMagnet Spectrum XT. While some of the

tools have their names spelt out, others come with a tool tip which will reveal the name of a

tool when you place the cursor over it. Many of them contain submenus in the form of a drop-

down list menu, as indicated by the down arrow next to it. Figure 3-2 highlights all the tools

on the toolbar. Detailed descriptions of these tools are presented in Table 3-2.
