 ======File menu======
+In the following each of the functions and possibilities of the program **PAM** are
+explained. Step by step the functions and applications are demonstrated.
+The first tab of the main menu of **PAM** is the menu **File**, including five different
+functions. Each of the different functions will be explained one by one in the following
+chapters.
+===== Import of Material Data and Series of Measurements =====
+The Import function allows the import of finished records //Material// and the
+measured material parameters //Series of Measurements//. If the user wants to
+make the import of material data, it must sequentially with the mouse tab //File > Import > Material// button. The //Import material data// opens.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_008a.png?nolink |}}
+{{ :en:rex310_en_008b.png?nolink |}}
+When importing data series is intended, the procedure is analogous to the material
+data, //File > Import > Series of Measurements//. As shown in the following figure, files can be
+imported in csv (*.csv) format (for example data, which are //save as// in Excel with
+previously stored name.csv).
+{{ :en:rex310_en_009a.png?nolink |}}
+{{ :en:rex310_en_009b.png?nolink |}}
+===== Export of Material Data =====
+The user is not only able to import material data with **PAM**, but to export as well. To
+export material data to use in other programs, select the //Export// option in the //File//
+menu or use the button for //Export// (marked in red). Current exports to REX, PSI,
+SIGMA and PAM are available. In order to export, select the desired file format and
+enter the name of the //Material// data file. PAM also provides the ability to export only
+the graphics as PNG file or JPG file. This can be done by using the button //Graphic
+Export// (marked in black).
+{{ :en:rex310_en_010a.png?nolink |}}
+{{ :en:rex310_en_010b.png?nolink |}}
+By using the export option, there is also the opportunity to generate material
+documents in the PDF-format. If you choose this option, the dialogue will be adjusted
+and expanded to several fields. For example, it is now possible to choose a graphic
+file which will be included into the title picture. This title picture is shown in the
+preview. There is also the possibility to adopt the comment which belongs to the
+material.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_011.png?nolink |}}
+===== Database-Management =====
+In the menu //Database-Management// databases can be connected, configured,
+added, created, copied and deleted.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_012.png?nolink |}}
+With //Connect database// you connect a database from the table. Therefore, select
+the database to connect with by clicking on it. Instead of using the button, it is also
+possible to establish a connection by double-click. The database illustrated in blue is
+the one temporarily connected. Furthermore, the function //Configure// offers the
+possibility to save the password used for reusing it in the next dial-up as a standard
+password. The storage occurs encrypted in the file //pam.ini//. For this reason, an
+access by a third person is hardly possible.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_013.png?nolink |}}
+There is also the possibility to build up a database connection directly by the
+checkbox which is shown in the program border on the top and the right.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_014.png?nolink |}}
+Here you can choose one of the databases in the list. In this case the program tries
+to establish a connection with the username and the password which have been
+used recently. If the connection effort fails, the common connection dialogue will
+appear. There you can subsequently change the username and password.
+//Configure database// configures the database and allows to change the description
+of the database and its postion (Server and Path).
+{{ :en:rex310_en_015.png?nolink |}}
+//Add Database// adds a database to the list. Which has been defined, but is not on
+the list yet. When you click on Add you have to search for a database first. In case
+the file already exists on the local server (localhost), it is possible to select the URL
+directly out of the file-tree.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_016a.png?nolink |}}
+{{ :en:rex310_en_016b.png?nolink |}}
+//Create Database// creates a completely new database. The new database will
+immediately be added to the list of already known databases. The name for this
+recently created database will be generated at once from the given database path.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_017a.png?nolink |}}
+{{ :en:rex310_en_017b.png?nolink |}}
+//Delete Database// deletes a database from the list. There are two possibilities to
+delete the databases: to delete it completely or to just remove the entry.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_018a.png?nolink |}}
+{{ :en:rex310_en_018b.png?nolink |}}
+//Copy Database// makes a copy of the chosen database. Thereby a target must be
+determined, in which the database should be transferred. Furthermore, the
+determination of the username and the password are necessary.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_019a.png?nolink |}}
+{{ :en:rex310_en_019b.png?nolink |}}
+The button //Rights// can allow a certain user to have certain new rights or to disallow
+older ones concerning the material database. It is important that this option is only
+available for the database, with which a current connection is possible.
+In the table above, all known users with their rights are mentioned. Thereby the
+program divides between read and write permission. You may own the authority to
+change them (this is generally the case if you have established a connection as
+SYSDBA or if you are the owner of the database). In this case you have to know that
+a given write-permission includes the read-permission. This means, if you deselect
+the checkmark of the read-permission, the write-permission is also deselected.
+In addition to this, there are also the options to add new users and to delete old
+users. If you delete a user, all of his/her rights referring to this database are removed.
+But there is still the possibility that this user is known by another data-base. If you
+add a user instead, it is mentioned in the permission lists of all known databases.
+For a better understanding of this it is necessary to know that the program loads the
+list of all known users by connecting the entries of the file //user.ini// with the users
+which are mentioned in the authority list of the chosen data-base.
+===== Printing =====
+To print diagrams or material data select the item //Print// in the //File// Menu. In
+general, it is possible to print either diagrams or material data or measurements or to
+print everything at once. The data is generated in an HTML-data file and they can be
+printed directly via Netscape. The newly created HTML page will be saved under
+%TEMP (Windows default-directory, e.g. c:\temp) with the name
+//pamMaterial<no.>.html//. The browser window should open automatically.
+This requires a shortcut to data files (File Types) for HTML files, that is with a doubleclicking or with a “start” order on the cmd/command level, the HTML is opened with a
+browser. Everything can be configured either per file explorer or web-browser.
+If this does not work, the computer settings need to be changed or the printing needs
+to be done manually.
+{{ :en:rex310_en_021.png?nolink |}}
+=====Exit of the Programm =====
+In order to exit **PAM** chose //Exit// from the //File// menu.
