Getting Started


		Getting Started with Authoring Introduction to Authoring with Atomic Microscope Atomic Microscope has the capability of reading commands in a text file that guide the mouse around the screen. This feature is used in the "Quick Tour" on the Home page. The standard way of creating a tour is to first create a starting point for your experiment, and then to create a script file which contains commands that will guide the mouse through a presentation. Read on to follow this tutorial. If you would like more information on this topic, please contact us at service@starkdesign.com Create a Starting Point Load your favorite module, and add atoms to your liking. When the system is at the desired state, use the disk icon to save the experiment state. Remember whether you used the first, second, or third disk icon. Create a Script File Create a new text file, and fill it with commands that load your initial state, display a message box to the user, and drive the mouse around the screen. Use elements from the example tour file below to perform your desired actions. Example Tour file (Norwegian) // Controls on Experiment Page // Load a custom (renamed) Saved State loadstate html/Diffusion_Tour01.dat // Show a Message Box in the Experiment Area // Each line begins with a "msg" command msgstart msgaddline Viser sammenheng mellom målbare størrelser på msgaddline makronivå som trykk og temperatur og ikke direkte msgaddline målbare størrelser på mikronivå som antall molekyler, msgaddline molekylfart og molekylmasse. msgaddline msgaddline Trykk <Enter> for å fortsete. msgshow // Wait (30 secs.) for User to Hit Enter wait 30.0 // Hide the Message Box msghide // Wait 2 seconds wait 2.0 // Toggle Interatomic Potentials move 465,318,1.3 wait 0.2 click 465,318 wait 0.5 // Toggle Classical Vector Notation move 496,318,1.3 wait 0.2 click 496,318 wait 0.5 // Clear Experiment move 524,318,1.3 wait 0.2 click 524,318 wait 0.5 // Save/Restore State 1 move 562,318,1.3 wait 0.2 click 562,318 wait 0.5 // Save/Restore State 2 move 592,318,1.3 wait 0.2 click 592,318 wait 0.5 // Save/Restore State 3 move 620,318,1.3 wait 0.2 click 620,318 wait 0.5 // Clear Graph 1 move 624,140,1.3 wait 0.2 click 624,140 wait 0.5 // Clear Graph 2 move 624,272,1.3 wait 0.2 click 624,272 wait 0.5 // Set Temperature to Lowest Value move 475,346,1.3 wait 0.2 click 475,346 wait 0.5 // Set Temperature to Highest Value move 624,346,1.3 wait 0.2 click 624,346 wait 0.5 // Slide Temperature Slowly (2 secs) from Lowest to Highest Value move 475,346,1.3 wait 0.2 buttondown 475,346 move 624,346,2.0 buttonup 624,346 wait 0.5 // Add One Helium Atom move 470,394,1.3 wait 0.2 click 470,394 wait 0.5 // Remove One Helium Atom move 470,436,1.3 wait 0.2 click 470,436 wait 0.5 // Add One Neon Atom move 520,394,1.3 wait 0.2 click 520,394 wait 0.5 // Remove One Neon Atom move 520,436,1.3 wait 0.2 click 520,436 wait 0.5 // Add One Argon Atom move 568,394,1.3 wait 0.2 click 568,394 wait 0.5 // Remove One Argon Atom move 568,436,1.3 wait 0.2 click 568,436 wait 0.5 // Add One Krypton Atom move 616,394,1.3 wait 0.2 click 616,394 wait 0.5 // Remove One Krypton Atom move 616,436,1.3 wait 0.2 click 616,436 wait 0.5 // Toggle Pause Experiment move 466,460,1.3 wait 0.2 click 466,460 wait 0.5 // Set Time Periods per Update to Lowest Value move 495,460,1.3 wait 0.2 click 495,460 wait 0.5 // Set Time Periods per Update to Highest Value move 624,460,1.3 wait 0.2 click 624,460 wait 0.5 // Shrink Volume Slowly (2 secs) from Largest to Smallest Size move 445,247,1.3 wait 0.2 buttondown 445,247 move 280,247,2.0 buttonup 280,247 wait 0.5 // Grow Volume Slowly (2 secs) from Smallest to Largest Size move 280,247,1.3 wait 0.2 buttondown 280,247 move 445,247,2.0 buttonup 445,247 wait 0.5 // Click on Services Icon move 105,12,1.3 wait 0.2 click 105,12 wait 0.5 // Click on Information Icon move 76,12,1.3 wait 0.2 click 76,12 wait 0.5 // Click on Experiment Icon move 47,12,1.3 wait 0.2 click 47,12 wait 0.5 // Click on Home Icon move 14,12,1.3 wait 0.2 click 14,12 wait 0.5 // Controls on Home Page // Select Introductory Topics Module Group move 13,95,1.3 wait 0.2 click 13,95 wait 0.5 // Select Gas Behavior Module Group move 13,115,1.3 wait 0.2 click 13,115 wait 0.5 // Select Condensed Phases Module Group move 247,95,1.3 wait 0.2 click 247,95 wait 0.5 // Select Advanced Topics Module Group move 247,115,1.3 wait 0.2 click 247,115 wait 0.5 // Select Free Play Module Group move 481,95,1.3 wait 0.2 click 481,95 wait 0.5 // Select All Module Group move 481,115,1.3 wait 0.2 click 481,115 wait 0.5 // Scroll to the Bottom of the List move 625,420,1.3 wait 0.2 click 625,420 wait 0.5 // Select First Module move 16,190,1.3 wait 0.2 click 16,190 wait 0.5 // For next module, add 20 to y component (190 above). // So the 2nd module is at 16,210, the 3rd is at 16,230, etc. // The maximium number of modules displayed is 13.
