5. Find primers
 
Saved primers can be selected and used to find the position of the primer in the sequence(s).
 
6

RC primer

6. RC primer
 
Activate this button to search for the reverse compliment primer sequence.
 
7

Find sequence

7. Find sequence
Search for a given part of the sequence.
 
8

8. Base caller
This value is used to calculate the threshold level, depending on the selected algorithm in the Options dialog.
 
9

Zoom in/out

horizontally

9. Zoom in/out 
horizontally
Adapt the width of the peaks.
 
10

chromatogram

13. Show or hide 
chromatogram
Show or hide chromatogram for each of the nucleotides.
 
14

Confidence

level

14. Confidence 
level
Show or hide the level of confidence of the consensus base pare at any given point of the alignment.
 
A confidence value can be computed for each nucleotide. The trace wave is giving the intensity of the signal for each of the four nucleotides.
15

Majority rule

display

15. Majority rule 
display
When checked this option will display the most frequent letter at any given point of the alignment.
 
16

Ambiguity

letters

16. Ambiguity 
letters
Letters displayed in the consensus sequence are ambiguity letters instead of majority rule letters.
