Aftermath: The Home View

Note: This article is part of the AfterMath Data Organizer User's Guide

After logging into the AfterMath system, the first “view” you will see on the screen is the “Home” view. The Home view contains several useful options, including the ability to rapidly start common experiments, open or create data archives, and several links to Pine's web site.

You can return to the Home view anytime by clicking on the “Home” icon in the lower-left portion of the AfterMath screen (see figure above).

The following actions and options are available on the Home view:

This section of the Home view lists several very common experiments. To perform one of these experiments, simply click on the link for the desired experiment, and a new (blank) specification for that type of experiment is created in the archive. More about how to perform experiments on instruments can be found later in this manual (click here).

This section of the Home view displays a list of links to the most recent archives that you have used. Clicking on one of these links automatically opens the archive so that you can view its contents.

There is also a link which allows you to create a new archive. If you click on this link, a new (unnamed and empty) archive is created. The new archive is not actually created on the hard drive unless you put some data into the archive and save it to a particular archive file.

This section of the Home view lets you create a new plot (either an empty plot or a plot showing data from a previously opened archive).

This option simply create a new (empty) plot in the archive. You can add traces to the plot by copying or dragging them from other plots.

This option creates a new plot using data from a previously opened archive. When you click on this option, a dialog box appears (see below) which lets you select which data from the archive should be placed on the new plot.

This section of the Home view contains several useful links for navigating directly to Pine's web site. Use these links to send a message to Pine, to view Pine's commmercial e-commerce web site, or to reach the on-line AfterMath support site.
