Radar Settings and Quick Tour 1
Getting Started with Radar and EH
Start Radar with a Repertory open automatically
You can start Radar with the Shortcut icon on the desktop.
You can also go via: Start, All Programs, then Archibel software
group, then select Radar
Tip: Radar can start with one or more repertories opened
automatically. We advise in the beginning when you are still learning
the program, to have only one repertory opened automatically.
To change which repertory to start up automatically: Right mouse click on the Radar
shortcut, and select Properties. Then select the Tab Shortcut
In the line Target: you need to have only one abbreviation of the
repertory you want to have opened automatically, at the end of the
line. For example:
C:\radar\bin\radar.exe SE92V
(for the Synthesis English Treasure edition)
C:\radar\bin\radar.exe MUE92V
(for the Murphy English version 3)
These repertory abbreviations you can find in Radar, via the button
‘Open Repertory’. They are mentioned behind each repertory name.
Live Updates
The first time you start Radar, the program will check if there is a
program update or Freenotes available.
Allow the program to download the updates on a regular basis.
You can set the frequency to check once a month for example.
You can always manually start the Live update via the menu bar Help,
then Live update.
Tip: Remember in the Freenotes window, to select only those languages you want to
see. From then on, only these languages will be downloaded.
Help and Manual
Via Start, All Progams, Achibel software, you can
open a Users manual
You can also open the Help on Line via the
question mark icon, or you can press the F1 button, for context sensitive help
See instruction video ‘Settings’
Radar Settings and Quick Tour 2
The Repertory Window
If the Shortcut is setup correctly, your Radar opens with one repertory opened
automatically.
For beginner users it is best to automatically startup with only one repertory!
Depending on your package, your Synthesis repertory can open at the background also a
second window called ‘Access to Synthesis’ or ‘Concepts’.
Explanation about the Concepts-repertory will follow later on.
Synthesis will open on the first page of the repertory ‘Chapter Mind’, there is also an
empty chapter called ‘Personal Chapter’, this is to add personal repertory additions,
which you cannot easily place in one of the existing chapters.
Personal layout
Note that you can change the layout of the
repertory window to what you like best.
You can do this via Options, then
Repertory Window. Or Remedy Window,
or Fonts and Colors.
The Repertory Views
The repertory Synthesis is the only
repertory and program, which allows the
user full control over which authors and
remedies, should be visible in the repertory.
So you have absolute control over all the
sources in your repertory.
If you want, you can even simply go back to
the Original Kent repertory. Well almost
the original Kent, because it still will have
some personal additions and corrections to
his own Kent repertory. And ‘Food and
Drinks’ are located in the chapter Generals
– Food and Drinks, and not under Stomach,
as was in the original Kent.
With the Repertory Views button, stepwise more authors and remedies are added.
The Quantum view already has modern authors, but still more or less with a classical
approach. The Millennium view also has new remedies like, Lac-delfinum, Lac-leoninum,
etc. The Full Synthesis-(rmd not copied) also has meditation provings, dream provings,
and those remedies from Jan Scholten which are not based on any provings, etc.
Radar Settings and Quick Tour 3
Full Synthesis-(rmd copied): Where it is possible the remedies which are located
originally only in the sub-rubrics, are added to the main rubric.
Although this is done carefully, not everybody agrees to
this, so it is optional.
You can set your own default View to be opened
automatically on startup: Go to Options, and click on
Make current View the default.
If you select for example the: Kent revised view, you
will see that not only several rubrics becoming gay, but
also that many remedies disappear from rubrics.
There are remedies with Strikethrough, indicating
corrections to he original Kent repertory, or on previous
version of Synthesis. (You can read an
article about the recovery of Kent’s
personal repertory).
There are Cross References, indicating a
rubric which could be close, which you can
also consider.
The Hand points to the active rubric.
There are also Referring rubrics: These are rubrics with
no remedies, but they point to the rubric you should look
at. Double click in the blue referring rubric, or you can
just press Enter on the keyboard.
The Upper Toolbar
We will focus for now on a
few important icons and
functions.
The first icon is: Open a
repertory.
Then we have: Find a new
rubric (F2), Find from the
current rubric (F3), and
Search on Words (F4)
The icon number 8 to 12 are ‘Take a rubric into the (default) clipboard’
Icon 8 = General take options.
Icon 9 – 12 = Take with intensity 1, until take with
intensity 4.
See instruction video ‘Quick Tour’

The next icon ‘The Graph’ opens the Analysis or Repertorisation window.
The Left Toolbar
You can Drag and Drop rubrics into a
clipboard (this is the same as if you use the
Take Rubric icon 1. (rubrics will be taken
with only an intensity 1).
In the beginning you will probably only use
one clipboard only, the clipboard number 1.
Later on you will want to use more then one
clipboard, for example the Acute Symptoms in
Clipboard 1, and the Chronic in clipboard 2.
You can also Drag and Drop a Remedy to the
‘Keynote Icon’, or to the ‘Remedy search’
icon.
Or to the ‘Search in EH’ clipboard.

An other example:
I also want to find the symptom that the ‘Head is sensitive to draft’ …. You can type for
example:
HE <enter>
DRA <enter> < enter>
You will notice that you come to a referring
rubric.
Now just press <enter> and you will jump to the
correct rubric, which is: ‘Head – Air, draft of ‘
The next icon ‘Find from Current’ (F3)
This can be used to find a rubric, which is located in the repertory very near to the position
you are now. For example if you want to take two or three ‘Food and Drink’ rubrics in the
chapter Generals. For example if you have found first ‘Generals – Food and drinks –
Milk – agg.’ And then you want to find ‘Generals – Food and drinks – Butter – agg.’
Search for Words (F4)
If you do not know the location of a rubric, or you want to find all rubrics with a certain
word you can use the F4 function: the forth icon, the magnifying glass.
You can search for example on the word:
DRAFT. Or on two words: DRAFT and
AIR.
Open the F4 window.
Then just start to type DRAF then press
<enter>
If you want to add the word air, just type
AIR <enter>
Note: if you select words as a Root, it will
automatically include the Branch words.
But if you click on one of the branch words,
you will only search this single word.
To start your search, just press <enter> and
you will select the SEARCH icon, or you can
click on it.
