This Fusion Benchtop Software Guide provides useful supporting information for the extensive range of functions of Fusion Benchtop, as well as further guidance to help get the best performance from your system.

Using Help within Fusion Benchtop

There are several levels of help integrated into Fusion Benchtop:

  • Pressing F1 at any time will open the software guide at the relevant section providing further in-depth information for the selected object, area or task.
  • Help content is also available from the help button as a "live" version when you have on-line access so that the latest information is available.

If access to the live version is not possible, help content is still available off-line as part of the software installation.
