The STARTER user interface

You can use STARTER (see Fig. 2-3 on the following page) to create the sample
project. The different areas of the user interface are used for different configuration
tasks:
S Project navigator: this area displays the elements and objects that can be
added to your project.
S Working area: You create the project in this area:
– When you are configuring the drive, this area contains the Wizards that help
you configure the drive objects.
– You can configure the parameters for the speed setpoint filter, for example.
– When you call up the expert list, the system displays a list of all the para-
meters that you can view or change.
