The Choose pulse train file window
Overview
When you use the Browse button on the laser controller set-up page to load a pulse train file, the Choose pulse train file window will be displayed. Here you can navigate around your computer or network to find the file you want to open.

Details
You will probably be familiar with this window already, as it's based on the standard 'Open file' window used in almost all Windows software.
It's often very useful to enlarge this window so you can see more files. You can do this by dragging the bottom right corner with the mouse.
| Files list | The files list shows the folders and files stored in the current location. You can double click a folder to open it so you can access the files inside. If you double click a .txt or .csv file, then ANY-maze will try to open it as a pulse train file. |
| File name | You can use this field to type in the location and name of the file you want to open. |
| Type of file | You can use this list to choose what types of files are shown in the Files list. By default, the list shows text (.txt) and comma-separated (.csv) files, but you can change it to show all files, irrespective of their type. Note however that ANY-maze can only open valid pulse train files. |
