•Display Unit [ns] sets the unit at which time values are entered and displayed in the editor. See Section 1.10: Base and Display.

•Base Time Unit [ps] sets the smallest amount of time that can be displayed in the timing diagram editor. See Section 1.10: Base and Display.

•Read-Only Mode, if checked, turns off waveform editing the diagram to prevent accidental changes to the diagram. See Section 11.2 Import General Instructions.

•Drawing Preferences opens a dialog that controls how signals, parameters, and text are drawn: Affects how objects appear in the drawing window. See Section 1.4 Display Settings for Signals and 5.3 Display Settings for Parameters.

•Text and Edge Grid Settings opens the Edit Text and Edge Grids dialog that controls the invisible grid that drawn edges or text snap to. See Section 6.2: Moving Text on the Alignment Gridand Section 1.2: Drawing Waveforms.

•Text/Color Preferences has sub-menus to control the color or font of almost every window object in the program.

•Load Diagram Default Style, Fonts and Colors can return the diagram to its original style state. See Section 7.6 Miscellaneous Diagram Features.

•Parameter Window Preferences controls whether display of the min/max columns in the Parameter window show either formulas or the numerical value of the formula. See Section 5.6 Parameter Window.

•Diagram Simulation Preferences opens a dialog that controls what type of code is generated for diagram simulations (including the default settings for register and latch models). See Section 4.5: HDL Code Generation Settings.

•Simulator/Compiler Settings opens a dialog that specifies the location of  external simulators or compilers to be used with the tool, and the placement of external scripts for the simulators. This is rarely used by WaveFormer customers, but is extensively used by TestBencher Pro and Bug Hunter Pro. See Section 4.5: HDL Code Generation Settings.

•VHDL Libraries and Use Clauses: opens a dialog that allows you specify library statements and uses clause that will automatically output to the VHDL testbenches. See Section 4.4 Export VHDL and Verilog test benches.

•General Preferences opens a dialog that controls how some timing analysis features work in the program. See Section 7.6 Miscellaneous Diagram Features.

•Customize Toolbar opens a dialog with check boxes to add or remove buttons from the tool bar.

•Shutdown and restore factory settings renames the file syncad.ini to syncad.old, then shuts down the program. When the program is restarted, all settings will be returned to their defaults.
