Preferences
Aim
After installing EthoVision XT, it is a good idea to set general preferences. For example, where to store the experiments, the default measurement units, etc.
The options under Preferences are at the application level. This means that they are applied to all new experiments. However, default units can also be changed per experiment.
Procedure
Choose File > Preferences.
▪Preferences for default folders
▪Preferences for default units
▪Preferences for video settings
Notes
▪To return to the default settings, click the Defaults button.
Returning to default means that:
- The default experiment folder will be that specified during installation.
- All the warnings are selected.
- Auto save is enabled, with auto save interval is reset to 5 min.
▪When you click the Defaults button with the Default Folders tab open, the preferences for warnings, auto save and default units are also reset (and vice versa).
