The Application & Setup Tree area of the Workspace is located on the left-hand side of the Workspace window. Each of the functions and applications shown can be selected from the tree. The selected application or setup function starts in a window of its own and opens additional windows as needed. Though unusual at first, you will soon come to appreciate the flexibility which this allows you in displaying windows from different applications side by side.

S_TOOLS-STx stores all these parameters in the current [[User Guide/Workspace/Workspace File (default: stxini.xml)|S_TOOLS-STx INI]] file (the default is stxini.xml). Since the user may require different S_TOOLS-STx configurations, the user can save and load different S_TOOLS-STx INI files. In order to save a new configuration under a different name, use the menu File > Workspace > Save As. The default S_TOOLS-STx settings are stored in the read-only file stxconfig.xml. If you every need to restore the original S_TOOLS-STx settings, close S_TOOLS-STx, delete the S_TOOLS-STx INI file and restart S_TOOLS-STx.
{{STX}} stores all these parameters in the current [[User Guide/Workspace/Application and Setup Tree/Workspace File|workspace]] file. Workspace files end ''.stxws'' (the default is default.stxws). Since the user may require different {{STX}} configurations, the user can save and load different workspace files. In order to save a new configuration under a different name, use the menu ''File > Workspace > Save As''. The default {{STX}} settings are stored in the read-only file stxconfig.xml. If you every need to restore the original {{STX}} settings, close {{STX}}, delete the workspace file and restart {{STX}}.

The STx Workspace: The Application & Setup Tree

Ws as tree.png

The Application & Setup Tree area of the Workspace is located on the left-hand side of the Workspace window. Each of the functions and applications shown can be selected from the tree. The selected application or setup function starts in a window of its own and opens additional windows as needed. Though unusual at first, you will soon come to appreciate the flexibility which this allows you in displaying windows from different applications side by side.

STx stores all these parameters in the current workspace file. Workspace files end .stxws (the default is default.stxws). Since the user may require different STx configurations, the user can save and load different workspace files. In order to save a new configuration under a different name, use the menu File > Workspace > Save As. The default STx settings are stored in the read-only file stxconfig.xml. If you every need to restore the original STx settings, close STx, delete the workspace file and restart STx.

Warning: The stxconfig.xml file should never be edited by the user!The Application & Setup Tree is divided into a number of different branches, grouping related functionality:

Tools

The Tools branch in the Application & Setup Tree contains the following tools:

  • Recorder - an application for recording and segmenting on the fly
  • FindFile - an application for finding sound files on local and network disks

Signal Analysis & Display

The Signal Analysis & Display branch of the Application & Setup Tree offers the user the following applications for analysing and displaying signals:

All signal and analysis applications (except the Real-Time Analyser) store their settings in so-called 'profiles'. After installing STx, there are a number of default pre-configured profiles available.

Signal Processing

There are a number of signal processing functions available in STx:

Options

The Options branch of the Application & Setup Tree contains a collection of global STx settings.
