General Sheet

Onto this sheet, there are two options: the number of decimal points and the language.

The number of decimal points determines with how many decimal points will the system work. This will put forth as in the internal system work - rounding, displaying results, ... - as in external files.

Language of the system determines the language by which the system will comunicate with an user. There are two possibilities - english and czech. This language doesn`t influence the syntax of knowledge base that is always the same (based on english).

Directory Sheet

Onto this sheet, there are 4 input boxes, where several directories are entered. A setting of these directories isn`t inevitable for the work of the system, but it can simplify a work with the system.

Directory with file „base.dtd“ determines the directory, where this file is placed. This file is required when the system open the knowledge base and if this directory isn`t set, the file must be placed in the same directory as the file of knowledge base.

Directory with file „answers.dtd“ determines the directory, where this file is placed. The file „answers.dtd“ has an analogical function as the file „base.dtd“, but it`s required when the system open the answers saved in the previous consultation.

Directory with knowlage bases is the directory, where knowledge bases are placed. If this directory is set, the system will use it as the default directory along opening base and it speed up a finding of demanded knowlage base.

NEST Editor directory is the directory, where the file „NEST_Editor.exe“ is placed (it`s the program for creating of knowlage bases). If this directory is set, the NEST Editor could be started from initial screen by the main menu Tools - NEST Editor. The directory will be set automatically, when the Editor is started by another way.

All directories can be seted directly, or by clicking on the button next to the input box and selecting a directory in the dialog.

Colors Sheet

Onto this sheet, you can set up 3 colors of text that are used for results of consultations.

Basic color is used when there is no reason to use another one.

Color for Positiv results is used for all results that have theirs lower limit greater then 0.

Color for Negative results is used for all results that have theirs upper limit lower then 0.

Sources Sheet

Onto this sheet, there is only one choice: Maximal time of external function. It determines the time (in milliseconds) of waiting to the end of an external function that is used as a source of answer. If the function doesn`t finish in this time, the system`ll keep the waiting and go to the next source.

If the left checkbox isn`t checked, the system will wait forever (an user can stop it by clickint on the button „Cancel“).
