 ====== Controls ======
 All controls in Scan&Solve™ are aggregated in three tabs: [[controls#Specify Tab Control|Specify Tab]] for setting up the analysis problem, [[controls#View Tab Controls|View Tab]] and [[controls#Advanced View Tab Controls|Advanced View Tab]] for visualizing the computed solution, and [[controls#Settings Tab Controls|Settings Tab Controls]] for adjusting simulation parameters.

 |Linear Solver|Radio button selects the solver to use when computing the solution.      |
-|    :::      |  - DSS is the Intel Direct Sparse Solver, very fast but memory intensive.|
+|    :::      |- The direct sparse solver (**DSS**) is very fast but because it can consume large amounts of memory it is best used on simulations at resolutions less than 100000.|
-|    :::      |  - ISS is the Intel Iterative Sparse Solver, fast and uses little memory.|
+|    :::      |- The iterative sparse solver (**ISS**) is moderately fast and is fairly memory-frugal.|
-|    :::      |  - SnS is the Scan&Solve solver, the original iterative Scan&Solve solver.|
+|    :::      |- The Scan&Solve solver (**SnS**) is the default iterative solver that allows visual feedback of the solution progress.|
-|Precision|Adjusts the relative precision at which the iterative solvers will finish.|
+|Precision|Adjusts the relative precision at which the iterative solvers will finish. Smaller values increase solution accuracy at the expense of solving time.|
 |Simulation Settings|Displays detailed technical information about the current simulation settings.|
+|Show Grid| Checkbox enables/disables display of the solution grid during simulation setup and visualization.|
+|[Grid Color] | Select the color used for displaying the solution grid.|
 |Defaults|Returns the simulation settings to the default values.|
