Compact Mode
Q-View operates as a service that resides in the system tray. Q-View detects WinRiver II real-
time operation and accesses the measurement file (*.mmt) and respective transect files as
they are recorded and closed. The pop-up screen is split between Procedure, Measurement,
and Transect feedback. Click on each section to switch between them. Further changes to
the measurement file are detected and the results are updated accordingly.

Report Mode
The Report mode displays a set of comprehensive results and access to a printable report
summary. Q-View starts in the report mode when a Measurement file is loaded in WinRiver
II and processes it automatically. Measurement files collected with WinRiver II 2.19 or earlier
should be reprocessed first so that Q-View can calculate the needed data for the report.
Use the Minimize/Maximize buttons ( ) to switch between Compact and Report
modes.
