Here are my notes (after wasting a day overwriting otd files by accident.) Oddities of the SaveAs and Load SW buttons... 0 - SE always starts with the last used file loaded 1 - SaveAs saves the Settings and Output tabs (perhaps the graphs too) BUT DOES NOT CHANGE THE ACTIVE FILE 2 -There is no Save button. Any changes are automatically Saved to the active file 3 - So it is REALLY easy to make inadvertant changes to the LAST SW test 4 - The directory last saved to is not sticky. SaveAs always goes to the OT2020\Strategy Wizard dir., 5 - Ditto for the Load directory. Load always goes to the OT2020\Strategy Wizard folder SO - FIRST THING, when starting SW, immediately do a SaveAS to a new name. Then do a Load of the file you just created with SaveAs. Then Clear the experiment, select the Strategy and Timeframe (and probably every other control on the Settings tab). Add your rules, run your experiment. It would appear saving your work is totally optional, until you desire to start a new Experiment. (Kinda like Reverse Polish Notation calculators...) |
