When using DAWN you can return to the welcome screen at any time by pressing the home button.

The two important features of the Welcome screen are:

  • The System Check - the black panel at the bottom which shows if your computer meets the required specifications to run DAWN (green is good, yellow OK, red means some aspects may suffer)
  • The Tools panel

 Welcome screen contains lots of useful information on how to use DAWN, including links to the web page and youtube channel. DAWN is like a collection of different data analysis programs

  • Click on the tools panel now.

  • Click on the icon for the Data Browsing tool perspective

You will be greeted with a largely blank screen with lots of empty tabs, don't worry about that for now.
