The program modules use predefined measurement parameters such as languages, time, compass type, etc. to represent data. All these parameters can be chosen from the Options window. The Options module is the only module which purpose is to customize the program's data appearance.

With the help of this module you can choose the main language for all interfaces, the time, the compass types and the measurement mode for the sea and star units, user azimuth and the viewing distance.

Although most of the features are set by default, you can customize them according to your needs and liking.

• Use Computer Time. Select this radio button if you want to use your computer clock for measuring time (it can be useful when you are using a notebook computer).
