1. Introduction
---------------
To use the MacScout you'll need:

1. an Apple Mac running OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leopard)
2. a USB based Gamma-Scout(R)
3. a free USB slot to connect your Gamma-Scout(R) to

Please refer to http://www.gamma-scout.com/ for general information about the
Gamma-Scout(R) product.

Upon start, the MacScout will search for one or more Gamma-Scouts(R) connected
to your Mac. For every one connected, a seperate tab will open and you're able
to download data from the Gamma-Scouts(R). We believe the icons on the buttons
are self-explanatory. From left to right, the buttons have the following
fucntionality:

(down arrow)
Pressing this button will download data from your Gamma-Scout(R).
Please follow the textual/graphic instructions to get the data.

(down arrow to folder)
This button will save the downloaded Gamma-Scout(R) data to a
comma-separated file. This CSV file can be read by i.e. Microsoft Excel
and be further processed.

("10110", down arrow to folder)
This button saves the RAW data received by the Gamma-Scout(R) to a file.
This file can be read later and can be used to generate a new CSV file,
if you happen to lose it. The file can also be read by the official
Windows Gamma-Scout(R) client.
A last use for the RAW data is debugging. If the MacScout finds unexpected
data in the raw data received by the Gamma-Scout(R), you can mail it to
bugs@quickdecay.com for analysis.

(red X)
Pressing this button closes the active tab.

(clock)
Synchronize the date and time of your Mac with your Gamma-Scout(R).

("10110" with red X in front)
Wipe the data on your Gamma-Scout(R). This function tells the Gamma-Scout(R)
to erase its memory, so use with care!
