Toggle write protection - switch between read-only and read/write modes.
The search bar is used to locate a specific value in the document. Enter a value in the box, select the desired representation (hexadecimal, octal, binary, decimal or text) and hit the button. Check the Backwards box to search backwards from the cursor point or check Ignore case for a case-insensitive text search. Click the button on the right of the bar (X) to hide the search bar; go to in the menu to restore it.
The conversion field displays the values of various data types at the selected byte. For 8 bit types, it displays the value of the byte under the cursor; for larger types, it displays the value starting at that byte. The rightmost column displays various encodings of the current byte. Options in the conversion field are:
When checked, causes multibyte types to be calculated using the little-endian method used by x86 and Alpha processors. In this scheme, the first byte represents the least significant part of the value. (0a 4e = 0x4e0a = 19978) When unchecked, causes multibyte types to be calculated using the big-endian method used by PowerPC and Sparc processors. (0a 4e = 0x0a4e = 2638)
When checked, causes unsigned types to be displayed in hexadecimal, rather than decimal format.
Determines the number of bits used to calculate the values in the fields above it.
The status bar displays the following information:
When there is no selection, this field shows the encoding option used. (See -> for more information on encoding.) The start point and the length of the selection are shown.
A !

Displays the total size of the current document.
Indicates the position of the cursor within the document.
Indicates whether data editor window is displaying values in hexadecimal, octal, binary, decimal or text mode. Switch between modes with the View menu.
Indicates whether the document can be edited (RW) or is being viewed read-only (R). Switch between modes with the button on the far-right of the toolbar or the command in the menu.
