After the installation of EATOS, you start the program by a double-click on its symbol. With the window opened, clicking NEW you build up a project you can call up by OPEN.
In this project, please register all syntheses which should be examined. Therefore, after activating the button NEW, you input the appropriate stoichiometric equation. The syntheses entered in this way can be called up by OPEN. The quantities of the substances, the yield, and, in the case that substance-specific properties should be included into the study, toxicity data, etc., will be entered by WEIGHTING.
Clicking EXPORT, substances with all substances‘ data can be exported in the substance-list and are available for other examinations. By IMPORT, substances from the substance-list are called up and integrated into the application opened.
Instead of substances, in the register-sheet Substrates and Catalysts you can import other products from other syntheses of the same project, as well. In this way, synthesis sequences are made out.
The graphic representation of the results can be achieved by EDIT CALCULATE (in case of emanating from an opened synthesis), and by COMPARE, if you selected one or more syntheses in the project window. In this way, syntheses, synthesis sequences, resp., can be compared with each other.
The graphic column chart indicates the input (S-1) and output-1 (E), referring to a product unit, as well as the environmental indices EI_in and EI_out, which represent a weighting of the substances of the input and output with their substance specific properties according to a method described in this instruction manual. The data set the column segments are based on is output by clicking.
Using the command line, you can adjust various versions of the results. You can export the diagram by DIAGRAM EXPORT to insert it into other software programs as an object.
