Note: The screen captures on this page are intended to show the regions and the location of various parts of the interface. The icons and elements may be different in your distribution and version of the software.
The NIVOMAX Viewer simplifies access to aviation technical publications through three main interfaces: the Library List, Manuals and Publications List, and the Workspace. These interfaces are consistent across all NIVOMAX Viewer Editions.
