3.2.7 Creating and managing projects
The MX2 software uses project files to manage the set of data and settings used. The session loaded, the
channels used and the display and track settings are specified in these files.
Through the project files, it is possible to save the program mode in order to recall it later on. This allows the
user to ensure that the working environment used at the moment when the project was saved is always
available.
The demonstration project loaded automatically the first time the MX2 software is run can be closed by
clicking on the heading Close project from the File menu. In this way, the program no longer has an active
project, therefore the majority of the available options are disabled.
At this point, it is possible to create a new project, or alternatively open a project saved previously, by
clicking on the headings New project or Open project… present in the File menu.
By clicking on New project, the software warns the user that he/she is abandoning the open project (confirm
the operation by clicking YES”), requesting a position and a name for the new project which is being
created. After specifying a valid position and name, an empty working space is created into which it is
possible to load the sessions and apply the settings required.
It is possible to save the state of the project in use at any time by clicking on the heading Save project from
the File menu. If it is necessary to specify a different name from the one in use, simply click on the heading
Save project as… still from the same menu. In this way, a new position and a new name to give to the file
will be requested.
