Start of the SWIP5 program

Before starting the program, it must be configured (see program configuration and configuration of modules). Part of the configuration can be completed during the operation of the program. Many modules, in the absence of their own configuration, create sample files.

In order to run the SWIP program, the SWIP5.exe file must be invoked. It must be run from the folder it is located (by default it is the ./Release directory). The program starts with the configuration with the region whose name is defined in the Settings.xml configuration file. The example configuration should start with the region: ' Song Tranh 2' (see Program configuration). If you want to run the program for a region other than the one defined in the Settings.xml file, call SWIP5.exe -r 'region name'.

Program configuration consists of general and region-specific configurations. Each region has its own configuration of the program and used modules. Information about the set region is displayed in the title of the main program window (Fig. 3), it can also be checked thanks to the information about the general configuration displayed in the Application settings (Fig. 4) from menu field pole Setup → Application settings.

When the program is called for the first time, it is worth arranging the main window of the program and extra kernel windows of the program on the screen in a way that is convenient for work

The next steps of working with the program are described in the following sections:

• Description of program views (see the main window of the program and additional windows),
• Description of basic activities (see basic operations),
• Working with modules (see manual of program modules).
