- General Structure
  AcuConsole has three main windows including the Data Tree, panel and the visualization window.
- Main File
  Any number of custom user panels may be written. For each user panel, a tree item must be created. These are referred to as leave node tree items.
- User Panels
  Each user panel must have an open function, containing the menu definitions, and a call to TreeItem(), to place an item on the Data Tree and hook it up to the panel function. In addition, it may contain any number of supporting functions and operations, including data initialization.
- Standard Database Nodes
  The custom user panels may access and update any parameter in the database.
- User Panel Example
  The following is an example of a simple user panel for simplifying a StaticMixer specification. For clarity, help arguments are omitted.
- Set Command's Parameters (cmdSetXXX( ) )
  There are general functions written for each panel command to set the command's parameters to their default values and put the valid values in the database according to the defined path.
