Radar Settings and Quick Tour 1

Getting Started with Radar and EH

Start Radar with a Repertory open automatically

You can start Radar with the Shortcut icon on the desktop.

You can also go via: Start, All Programs, then Archibel software

group, then select Radar

Tip: Radar can start with one or more repertories opened

automatically. We advise in the beginning when you are still learning

the program, to have only one repertory opened automatically.

To change which repertory to start up automatically: Right mouse click on the Radar

shortcut, and select Properties. Then select the Tab Shortcut

In the line Target: you need to have only one abbreviation of the

repertory you want to have opened automatically, at the end of the

line. For example:

C:\radar\bin\radar.exe SE92V

(for the Synthesis English Treasure edition)

C:\radar\bin\radar.exe MUE92V

(for the Murphy English version 3)

These repertory abbreviations you can find in Radar, via the button

‘Open Repertory’. They are mentioned behind each repertory name.

Live Updates

The first time you start Radar, the program will check if there is a

program update or Freenotes available.

Allow the program to download the updates on a regular basis.

You can set the frequency to check once a month for example.

You can always manually start the Live update via the menu bar Help,

then Live update.

Tip: Remember in the Freenotes window, to select only those languages you want to

see. From then on, only these languages will be downloaded.

Help and Manual

Via Start, All Progams, Achibel software, you can

open a Users manual

You can also open the Help on Line via the

question mark icon, or you can press the F1 button, for context sensitive help

See instruction video ‘Settings’

The Repertory Window

If the Shortcut is setup correctly, your Radar opens with one repertory opened

automatically.

For beginner users it is best to automatically startup with only one repertory!

Depending on your package, your Synthesis repertory can open at the background also a

second window called ‘Access to Synthesis’ or ‘Concepts’.

Explanation about the Concepts-repertory will follow later on.

Synthesis will open on the first page of the repertory ‘Chapter Mind’, there is also an

empty chapter called ‘Personal Chapter’, this is to add personal repertory additions,

which you cannot easily place in one of the existing chapters.

Personal layout

Note that you can change the layout of the

repertory window to what you like best.

You can do this via Options, then

Repertory Window. Or Remedy Window,

or Fonts and Colors.

The Repertory Views

The repertory Synthesis is the only

repertory and program, which allows the

user full control over which authors and

remedies, should be visible in the repertory.

So you have absolute control over all the

sources in your repertory.

If you want, you can even simply go back to

the Original Kent repertory. Well almost

the original Kent, because it still will have

some personal additions and corrections to

his own Kent repertory. And ‘Food and

Drinks’ are located in the chapter Generals

– Food and Drinks, and not under Stomach,

as was in the original Kent.

With the Repertory Views button, stepwise more authors and remedies are added.

The Quantum view already has modern authors, but still more or less with a classical

approach. The Millennium view also has new remedies like, Lac-delfinum, Lac-leoninum,

etc. The Full Synthesis-(rmd not copied) also has meditation provings, dream provings,

and those remedies from Jan Scholten which are not based on any provings, etc.

Radar Settings and Quick Tour 3

Full Synthesis-(rmd copied): Where it is possible the remedies which are located

originally only in the sub-rubrics, are added to the main rubric.

Although this is done carefully, not everybody agrees to

this, so it is optional.

You can set your own default View to be opened

automatically on startup: Go to Options, and click on

Make current View the default.

If you select for example the: Kent revised view, you

will see that not only several rubrics becoming gay, but

also that many remedies disappear from rubrics.

There are remedies with Strikethrough, indicating

corrections to he original Kent repertory, or on previous

version of Synthesis. (You can read an

article about the recovery of Kent’s

personal repertory).

There are Cross References, indicating a

rubric which could be close, which you can

also consider.

The Hand points to the active rubric.

There are also Referring rubrics: These are rubrics with

no remedies, but they point to the rubric you should look

at. Double click in the blue referring rubric, or you can

just press Enter on the keyboard.

The Upper Toolbar

We will focus for now on a

few important icons and

functions.

The first icon is: Open a

repertory.

Then we have: Find a new

rubric (F2), Find from the

current rubric (F3), and

Search on Words (F4)

The icon number 8 to 12 are ‘Take a rubric into the (default) clipboard’

Icon 8 = General take options.

Icon 9 – 12 = Take with intensity 1, until take with

intensity 4.

See instruction video ‘Quick Tour’

The next icon ‘The Graph’ opens the Analysis or Repertorisation window.

The Left Toolbar

You can Drag and Drop rubrics into a

clipboard (this is the same as if you use the

Take Rubric icon 1. (rubrics will be taken

with only an intensity 1).

In the beginning you will probably only use

one clipboard only, the clipboard number 1.

Later on you will want to use more then one

clipboard, for example the Acute Symptoms in

Clipboard 1, and the Chronic in clipboard 2.

You can also Drag and Drop a Remedy to the

‘Keynote Icon’, or to the ‘Remedy search’

icon.

Or to the ‘Search in EH’ clipboard.

An other example:

I also want to find the symptom that the ‘Head is sensitive to draft’ …. You can type for

example:

HE <enter>

DRA <enter> < enter>

You will notice that you come to a referring

rubric.

Now just press <enter> and you will jump to the

correct rubric, which is: ‘Head – Air, draft of ‘

The next icon ‘Find from Current’ (F3)

This can be used to find a rubric, which is located in the repertory very near to the position

you are now. For example if you want to take two or three ‘Food and Drink’ rubrics in the

chapter Generals. For example if you have found first ‘Generals – Food and drinks –

Milk – agg.’ And then you want to find ‘Generals – Food and drinks – Butter – agg.’

Search for Words (F4)

If you do not know the location of a rubric, or you want to find all rubrics with a certain

word you can use the F4 function: the forth icon, the magnifying glass.

You can search for example on the word:

DRAFT. Or on two words: DRAFT and

AIR.

Open the F4 window.

Then just start to type DRAF then press

<enter>

If you want to add the word air, just type

AIR <enter>

Note: if you select words as a Root, it will

automatically include the Branch words.

But if you click on one of the branch words,

you will only search this single word.

To start your search, just press <enter> and

you will select the SEARCH icon, or you can

click on it.
