Graphical user interface

You can use the GUI to control your plugins, manipulate your measurements, try scripts, import data and configure your settings. You can also view and control RTOC-servers remotely. Unfortunately this is limited to short recordings due to the TCP-protocol, which cannot handle long datasizes. This will maybe be fixed in future releases.
