User preferences

CAP's user preferences offer considerable control over the display and handling of your data.

From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

The following screen will be displayed:

Settings for data notation, precision and alignment can be set in the Data formatting group. The Data notation drop-down allows you to select between Decimal, Scientific, General and Number; these choices are explained in the 'Current settings' text box at bottom left.

In the File handling group, the options to reload the last file you were using whenever the program starts up, and also to set the number of files visible in the file list, can be set. You can also choose whether or not to show the Instant Assist feature on program startup.
