Getting Started

When first opening the application, you will be prompted with a File Dialog and a What's New Dialog. You may close both of these.

The main window (see below) displays info about the loaded archive. On some Operating Systems the main menu options will be accessible from the top of this window. On others, they will be accessible along the top menu bar. If the menu bar is not visible at the top of the screen, click the main window to bring it into focus.

If this window is closed, the whole application will be shut down.

To start viewing data in real-time:

  1. In the menus, select Setup -> FEDS Client
  2. Configure the FEDS client Instrument ID and FEDS Network Address.
  3. Click Start
  4. You should seeing a message saying it successfuly connected. If data is flowing, you will see a non-zero value in the KBytes/sec field.
