The File Menu provides the following features:

•New Interface: Starting a new Interface and deleting all existing control, Child Interfaces, and returning all features to default configurations. In code, this can be done with !newInterface.
 

•Open Selection Interface: Open the index.mpji selection interface to select an interface to use.
 

•Interface to Load on Start: Defines which interface to load when the software starts.

•Select Load Interface: Allows using the file system to locate and select an interface to use.

•Use Current Interface: Selects the currently open interface as the start-up interface.

•Use Selection Interface: Selects the index.mpji interface to allow selecting an interface to open.
 

•Load on Start: Selects whether the defined interface will be loaded when the software loads.
 

•Recent: Last 10 opened interfaces
 

•Open Interface: Allows selecting the interface to load. This may be done in code with !load filename. If no path is given, the default interface directory will be used.
 

•Save Interface: Allows saving the current interface.
 

•Save Interface: As: Allows saving the current interface under a different name.
 

•Load Interface Settings: Opens an Interface Setting file, *.mpjs, which holds the properties of interface controls. This is essentially a scaled-down version of saving an interface but instructions to create controls is not included. This may be done through code with !loadSettings filename. Note: The settings file must reside in the same folder as the interface.
 

•Save Settings: Saves all current properties of controls. This may be done in code with !saveSettings filename. It will reside in the same directory as the current interface.
 

•Run Macro: Runs a macro file which is a text file of instruction, typically a .txt file. Macros can be constructed to request information when opened. The !runMacro filename instruction can be used to run a macro including passing data for it to use. Please see Macro Files.
 

•Run Macros from Folder: Provides a list of all available macros in the MPJ Macro folder.
 

•Import Data File to bring in data from an external file. See Import Data File
