Element Mode Quick Switch

Location: Main Program Window and Program Preferences Window

The quick switch buttons allow you to quickly switch between average weights, isotopic weights, and nominal integer value isotope weights, discussed further in the Editing Elements topic. When switching element types using Quick Switch, the new element values are loaded into memory directly from the program code and not from disk; thus, user-defined elemental weights cannot be used with Quick Switch. The element mode selected by Quick Switch on the main window also affects the element mode used by the Formula Finder. On program exit, the current element mode is saved to disk so that it is again selected when the program is restarted.

If you wish to hide the Quick Switch buttons (for example, too make the window smaller) you can uncheck the Show Element Mode Quick Switch box in the Program Preferences Window.
