 M1 Assistant
Helping you be immediately productive with M1
After listening to existing customers, ASA decided that while the M1™ user interface is easy to use, it is quite different from what most new users are accustomed to, and they sometimes require assistance in making the transition. The M1 Assistant was designed to introduce those new users to the basic concepts of M1's user interface by presenting a variety of basic and commonly-performed actions, and walking the new user through the normal way to use M1's user interface to accomplish those actions. As the user learns the M1 native user interface, he can transition away from M1 Assistant.
The main M1 Assistant dialog starts with the basics by allowing you to select from
- Acquire Waveform, which will detect a scope or show you how to load saved or simulated waveforms
- Basic Tasks, which provides quick access to the most commonly-used M1 tasks
- M1 Assistant Tasks, which shows all tasks available in M1 Assistant
For the true first-time user, the I'm new to M1 button provides access to various ways to find training, information, and help with M1. The dialog also shows either a default set of tasks, the most recently used tasks, or a customized list of tasks created by the user.
The user can control which set of tasks are displayed from the About M1 Assistant dialog, which provides information on the use of M1 Assistant and allows control of its behavior.
Once the user feels comfortable with the M1 OT user interface, he can simply clear the "Show M1 Assistant at M1 startup" box. However, M1 Assistant will always remain available through a single click on the Wizard button.
