This appendix is intended for individuals who want to start using the AutoMax
Programming Executive as quickly as possible. It will be particularly useful for
those who are familiar with the Windows software and with previous versions of
the Programming Executive. Familiarity with basic concepts in the instruction
manual is assumed. This appendix presents the typical sequence of steps
followed when using the Programming Executive, but includes little of the detail
or explanatory material found in the instruction manual. This appendix also does
not describe any online functions, e.g., monitoring.
Note that this appendix does not describe how to import application tasks
created with earlier version AutoMax or DCS 5000 Programming Executives.
Help screens are available for most commands. Use the F1 key or click Help to
access help for any screen where F1 is displayed.
