2.3. Viewing an existing project¶
To become acquainted with the functioning of the program it is recommended to look into existing example projects. The sequence of steps and the buttons and tabs to be clicked as shown below is nearly the same when creating a new project.
Tip
User guidance is presented in the last field of the status bar at the bottom of the UncertRadio window.
Load an existing project file (extensions txp or csv) of a measurement problem
with the 
button, whereby all calculations are done and,
finally, the TAB “Results” becomes visible.
To proceed, follow these steps:
Select the TAB “Procedure” for comments on that procedure
Select the TAB “Equations”
Click the button “Load symbols from equations”
Click the button “Load symbols from finalized symbol table”
Click the button “Accept all” to enable the TAB “Values, Uncertainties”
Next, review the equations and the table of symbols, then:
Select the TAB “Values, Uncertainties”
Click the Button “Calculation of uncertainties” to enable the TAB “Uncertainty Budget”
Review the details in the uncertainty table
Select the TAB “Uncertainty Budget” to view the uncertainty budget of the output quantity
Select the TAB “Results” to view all results, including Decision threshold and Detection limit
Alternatively, you can start a Monte Carlo simulation of the calculations by clicking the “Start” button.
To close the project file, load the next project, or terminate the program, use the following options:
File – Quit program to terminate the program
Load the next project by following the same steps as above
Close the project file using the
option or
terminating the program: File – Quit program.
Attention
If one has changed values while going through the different parts of the program, one should NOT save the project when the program asks for it, because otherwise the project file would be modified.
Scrolling within tables or in the equations field is possible with the mouse wheel after clicking within that table of field.
