The menu bar provides for quick selection of the most used functions. All menu bar functions are also available from the regular pull-down menus.

Note: The offline, clock and battery icons are also used as status indicators. If the offline icon is displayed, then HOUSE/290 is off-line. Clicking on that icon will put HOUSE/290 on-line. The clock and battery icon, as well as the upload icon, start that particular function. If HOUSE/290 is offline, then activating these functions will result in a high-pitched beep and an error message in the status line of the program is displayed.
