The Workspace is divided into the following four areas:
 
* [[User_Guide/Workspace/Application_and_Setup_Tree|The Application & Setup Tree]]. The Application & Setup Tree provides access to the installed applications (e.g. Recorder, FindFile, Real-Time Analyser), the profiles used for signal analysis (Signal Analysis & Display), the analysis parameter export dialog, the digital signal processing functions (Signal Processing), general S_TOOLS-STx settings like color schemes, audio settings etc. (Options), and links to frequently used scripts.
 
* [[User Guide/Workspace/The Workspace Overview|The Overview]] displays the basic elements in the current [[User Guide/Project|project]], e.g. sound files and sequences.
 
* [[User Guide/Workspace/Detail|The Detail]] displays the metadata in the currently selected element in the Overview. Depending on which [[User Guide/Workspace/Detail/Detail View|view]] is selected, you can see the existing segments, parameters or signal definitions.
 
* [[User_Guide/The Script_Controller|The Script Controller]] can be used to edit and run {{Stx}} macros or run the {{STX}} console. For a guide to programming {{Stx}} macros, see the [[Programmer_Guide|Programmer Guide]].
