			==Toolbar Reference==
			The following describes various options on Vixen's toolbars.

			===Sequence Menu===

			;New event Sequence
			:Allows you to create a new sequence. Choose a sequence type from the sub-menu - if you are unsure, you probably want a "Vixen standard sequence".

			;Open an event sequence
			:Allows you to open a sequence you have saved previously.

			;Save and Save As
			:'''This option is only available when a sequence is open.'''
			:Allows you to save the sequence to disk. Note that sequences are saved in the Sequences directory of your Vixen program folder by default. You should not save them any other place, or you will have trouble using certain functions of the program.

			;Export and Import channel names list
			:'''This option is only available when a sequence is open.'''
			:The Export command generates a text file with a list of the channel names in the current sequence. The Import command takes a list in the same format (one channel per line) and imports the names into your current sequence.

			;Print channel configuration
			:'''This option is only available when a sequence is open.'''
			:This command prints out your channels. The submenu allows you to order order them by "natural channel order" (the order you see them in the editor) or by "channel output" (the order in which they are sent to your hardware). This can be useful when setting up your display.

			;Audio

			;Settings

			:This panel allows you to set sequence-specific settings, including the minimum and maximum illumination level for output. This specifies what the minimum and maximum values in the sequence are.
			:This panel also allows you to set the event period length. This is the length of time represented by one column on the grid.

			;Set background sequence
			:This allows you to select a scripted sequence to run in the background when no other sequences are running. This can be used to, for example, clear all channels on a controller periodically so they do not leave lights on during the day. (Most hardware controllers do not have this problem.)

			;Recent
			:This gives a list of sequences you have recently used. You can click on them to open them.

			===Programs Menu==
			;Manage
			:Opens the program manager, where you can create, edit and delete programs.

			;Schedule
			:Opens the scheduler, where you can schedule when sequences and programs run automatically.

			;Restart current timers
			:This starts any items that are scheduled to be running right now. It can be used to start any items that you had stopped or that didn't start for some reason.

			===Profiles===
			;Manage
			:Opens the profile manager, where you can create, edit, and delete profiles and channel groups.

			;Create profile from sequence
			:'''This option is only available when a sequence is open.'''
			:This takes the settings from the current sequence and wraps them all up into a profile so you can use the same settings in other sequences.

			;Attach sequence to profile
			:'''This option is only available when a sequence is open.'''
			:This allows you to apply the settings from a profile you have already created to the current sequence.

			;Detach sequence from its profile
