# ACS Manual

The figure below shows the main panel of the AsTeRICS Configuration Suite after the application has started. The screen is divided in four main areas, the menu area (1), the Deployment area (2) (where the drawing will be done), the GUI Designer area (3), switchable with the Deployment area and the Properties area (4), where the settings of the components can be adapted.

Additionally, the main menu will open, if the AsTeRICS-Button is pressed in the menu bar - see figure below. All functions of the main menu are also reachable via buttons in the tabs, except the About and the Print dialog. This dialog shows general information about the ACS and the AsTeRICS project.
