The main window before any file selection. Click on You can select files either by editing the filename by hand or by opening the "File Browser..." to select file(s). If you select instrument and experiment the browser will take you directly to the right directory, or if you type in the run number it will load all files for this run number.

A standard file browser pops up. Navigate the file browser till you find the xtc files for your experiment. (Remember, if this seems cumbersome, you can also give the file name(s) as argument to xtcexplorer when you first launch the GUI)

Mark the files you want to look at (Hold down the Ctrl-key to select more than one file). Note, you should only look at one run number at a time, since different runs might have different configurations.

This is the main window after a file has been selected. File name and file size is shown in the GUI. If the file is not too big, you can click the "Scan File(s)" button to get exact contents of the whole file. If the file is big, it's better to do a "Quick Scan" which will tell you all you need to know (except count number of events and calibration cycles).
