Before your analysis, these control variables can be set in your Control file and at the Extra specifications prompt.
After your analysis, these control variables can be set in the Specification-menu dialog box and in other pull-down menus.
The current settings of these variables can be seen from the Output Files menu. Click on Control variables file.
