Slideshow Widget Help

This widget lets you easily save many different views of your data and then jump between them, save them to a file, or read back a previously saved slideshow. It is similar to the Set Home button on the DAVE Master widget but has many advantages: it doesn't change the default HOME position, more than one view can be saved at a time, and the views can be titled in an informative manner. In addition, not only the current viewing parameters, but also the positions of the currently displayed widgets are saved.

In order to save a view, just click on SAVE VIEW. A line will automatically be added to the display area identifying this view. If you ever want to return to this view, just click on the line. If may take a short while (10-20 seconds?) for DAVE to jump to the view.
