HVE User's Manual — Section Two: Menu Reference¶
Updated Markdown edition of Section Two of the legacy HVE User's Manual (HVE Version 5, Seventh Edition, January 2006). Content has been verified against the current HVE source code (HVEINV-64/HVERSNT.rc, hversntview.cpp); differences from the printed edition are marked with italic (updated: ...) notes.
Menu items covered here that have detailed, code-verified dialog pages elsewhere in docs/manuals/ are cross-linked rather than duplicated (see in particular 01-user-interface and 09-events-driver-controls).
