In previous versions of DAVE, all documentation was modular in nature and, when available, was provided as PDF files for each program module. Many of these program modules have been ported almost unaltered to the current version of DAVE. DAVE documentation is now not only more integrated but is also html based and makes use of the IDL Assistant document viewer. However, the old PDF documents for the DAVE 1.x modules are still valid and hence they are being included here without change in their existing PDF format.
It is assumed that you are reading this online documentation from IDL Assistant. Unfortunately,
IDL Assistant does not have a plugin for viewing PDF files, so you may have to
modify its settings to point to an external program that should open or handle PDF files.
To do so, select the following menu from IDL Assistant:
Edit => Settings
The following dialog should be displayed:
![]() | |
IDL Assistant: setting for external PDF reader on Windows |
Select the PDF tab and then specify your PDF application in the text box - use the browser button to
the left of the text field to locate and select the eppropriate application. On my computer the PDF
application is as indicated in the dialog above. when satisfied, select the OK button to apply the
setting.
On my MAC OSX computer the PDF application was set to:
/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/Preview
and on my Linux computer it was set to:
/usr/bin/acroread
You should now be able to open the PDF documents below.
