Installation Overview
!Disc Mon
This manual assumes you are familiar with the use of the
standard RISC OS applications. If you do not know how to use the filing systems or the windowing
system in the Acorn 32 bit computer, then
please read the Welcome guide that comes with the VA5000 software.
It explains how to find your way
around the operating system.
The discs on which we have supplied the StrongArm programs are unprotected, so you are advised to make backup copies and copy the files onto a hard disc. The program that provides the controlled interface between the patient and the cognitive rehabilitation system is !Disc Mon. !Disc Mon is run in the standard RISC OS fashion by double clicking on its filer icon. When the program starts it announces itself with a banner and then installs itself on the icon bar.
Pressing the middle or 'Menu' button over the Disc Mon icon on the icon bar produces the menu seen below. The 'Info' choices produces a standard Risc OS information window providing version and licensing information. Disc Mon can be stopped by clicking on the 'Quit' menu entry with the left mouse button.
To activate !DiscMon, click on the icon with the left mouse button and the main window will appear. This window displays the program choices as set by the companion program - Menu Maker. A typical user window is illustrated below.
The figure above illustrates a typical program menu. The menu
may be of slightly different appearance from the one displayed here, as there are a number of different
menus available - depending on the number of entries. In this example this is the first page of a
multi-page menu as there are more than 22 programs available.
To begin any of the programs merely move the pointer over
the name of the program you wish to execute and press the left mouse button. The selected program will
then run - usually identifying itself with a banner. The next figure shows the program which had been
chosen from the menu -- !Anagram1 -- about to be quit.
When a program finishes the monitoring system is called to save the results in the users data area. If the program was finished before there were any results to save, the following window appears briefly.
If there are results to save the window below appears briefly to indicate that the results are being saved and to provide the location of the save file.
When either the 'results' or 'no results' window is closed, the !Disc Mon menu window appears allowing the user to either choose another program or to quit. In the example here the Disc Monitoring program is just about to be quit
