Part 2: Tasks

This section provides step by step instructions for performing various tasks in PSICAT. The tasks are organized into three groups:

General Tasks: These are basic tasks that deal with getting started using PSICAT.
Editing Tasks: These are editing-specific tasks. Most deal with using tools from the palette to draw specific models.
Advanced Tasks: These tasks deal with the more advanced features of PSICAT.

Conventions

Each task is broken into one or more steps that must be performed to complete the task. If a particular step is not required, then it will be marked with an Optional indicator. If a particular step may or may not be required, depending on your particular set up or previous tasks completed, it will be marked with a Conditional indicator. Steps that involve interacting with a button or menu option will include the name of the button or menu item in bold. The results of a step, such as a window opening or a folder being created, will be listed in italics. Where appropriate, a series of screenshots or a short video will accompany the task description.
