Memory organization The organization of the memory area or data area can only be altered when no DIAdem
®
device is active. This means that all the DIAdem ® devices can be closed with the window menu
with "Close all". As soon as only the SHELL is displayed, the size of the data area can be
increased or decreased. For these settings to become effective, DIAdem
®
has to be restarted. This
is performed automatically if you affirm the appropriate request.
Define Report The Report contains a record of the DIAdem
®
program start and finish, error messages and
confirmation messages. The extent of the Report, as well as the associated Editor, with which the
memory format is selected, can be defined.
The Device-Specific Settings
Depending on which DIAdem
®
device is open, other settings specific to this device also appear
with the Desktop settings, such as, for example, the page layout and the color palette in the
DIAdem
® -GRAPH device. They are explained briefly in the following.
Directory Structure
When you install DIAdem ® , the setup program creates the directory structure shown below on the
path you enter. This structure consists of three directory layers.
Standard directory structure
I. In the Program directory (e.g., c:\diadem) you will find the program files (*.exe, *.dll),
control files and others such as the Readme file.
II. The first sub-directory layer serves to organize the remaining files (ADDINFO, DEMO, LIBR,
SYMBOLS and USER).
You will find all the practice examples from the manual and the patterns (example.*) in the
DEMO directory. These can be used whenever you start the program. The library directory
LIBR contains all the examples and demos that can be started from Help (you choose during
installation whether to install these). Neither the demo files nor the Libr files should be changed
by individual users. Instead personal copies (which can be changed) should be stored in a
personal directory, for example USER1, etc. This is especially important when you run
DIAdem
®
on a network. The LIBR, SYMBOLS and ADDINFO sub-directories contain
systems files necessary for DIAdem ® . They should never be changed.
The user path can be changed using the Autosequence "ChDir", which is connected to the
twelfth function symbol. This applies globally, i.e. the same for all the DIAdem
®
devices.
III. The individual files are located on the second sub-directory layer, each in the appropriate
directory:
