4.1.1 Open a file

To open a file, one of the options is to press the item Open of the menu File (Image 6). This action shows a pop-up window of the file browser of the computer (Image 7), were you can search and open the data file.

When you have the data file selected, you must press the button Open or the Enter key. Then the sonoUno generates the graph of the data (Image 8) and updates the abscissas slide bar. With the button Play you can reproduce the sound of the data.

The file panel contains six buttons and is located on the left of the user (Image 10).
