Mouse familiarization

To edit existing text you must first select the text that you would like to change. While everyone familiar with basic word processing functions knows how to highlight using the mouse, there are a number of ways to select text that can save you time, and prevent mistakes. To select ... 

This manual assumes that the user is familiar with a Macintosh or Windows-type graphic operating system, with a mouse, windows, pop-up menus, etc. If this is not so, the user should first familiarise him/herself with the graphic system installed in his/her computer. 

Practise drawing carbon-atom chains with the mouse until you are familiar with the technique. 

Each of the simulators has a schematic editor program, which is used to enter the circuit into the simulator. Accessing the overall quality of a particular schematic editor comes down to preferences. Even though an assessment may be made from the number of keystrokes or clicks of the mouse required to enter a circuit, a user s effectiveness is a function of familiarity and comfort. Maximizing the performance of a schematic editor is dependant on the user and is difficult to determine. 

On the first 3 days of testing, allow the mouse to explore the observation box for 10 min to become familiar with the environment. In these sessions, there should be no rat present. 

We hope that this volume will stimulate those not familiar with the power of the mouse and its potential for the drug discovery process, and further, that it wall encourage the development of new models as well as new ways in utilizing existing models. We also hope to promote the development of more standardized models and assays such that results can be more easily compared and reproduced. 

By the end of the talk, the room was so smoky that several ladies had to be escorted out. Wepfer said that there was time for only three questions. My hand shot up, and he turned to me with amusement. I wonder if you are familiar with John Mayow and his conclusions about fire and air I asked. His smile faded, but he nodded gravely. Then you ll know that Mayow noticed that if a mouse was placed under a glass, it could not live after part of the air—the part he called the nitro-aerial spirit—had been consumed, even though some air was left in the glass. Likewise with a candle flame. How does Mayow s theory that air in fact consists of at least two different parts fit your theory of the Archaeus, which you say is a force separate from the air ... 

The window underneath the Information Window is the Icon Menu Window. It contains a menu of the five situation icons. Each of these may be individually selected and copied to the Student Work Area using mouse routines with which the student is already familiar. Selection of four of the icons - Change, Compare, Restate, and Vary - is straightforward The student selects the icon and points to a location in the Student Work Area for placement. For the Group icon, however, the student must make an additional decision, namely, how many partitions to include in the figure. When the Group icon is selected in the Icon Menu, another menu... 

Even worse in this respect is the introduction of computer-controlled instrumentation in the laboratory. Assuming the computer that drives the instrument is an IBM-compatible (many aren t), which compatible is it An XT A 286 AT A 386 A DOS or OS/2 operating system And then there s the software that drives the instrument. Is it all mouse-driven What keystrokes mean what I use a Mattson Galaxy model 2020 Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) instnunent. I m familiar with the Perkin-Elmer model, too. These two models look different, their computers are different, and their software is really different. I can t justify to myself the inclusion of one model over another because they are so different. (Yes, I have a Perkin-Elmer 710B as an example of a dispersive instrument, but dispersive instruments have more things in common than FTIR s.) So, unless someone has a really good approach and would like to tell me about it. I ll just have to think about it a bit more. 

With the change from using the TOUCHPEN and further familiarity with user needs it was decided to drop the NORMALIZE option in Superstructure. The positioning accuracy of the mouse was superior to that of the TOUCHPEN and the better view of the screen (unhampered by the pen, one s hand, and arm) as well as the improvement in responsiveness led to this decision. This also eliminated the need for two cursors, one for the pointing device and one for the atom location that would be selected when in NORMALIZE mode.
