Q-DAS Launcher
How to open DFQ files with qs-STAT, solara.MP or other Q-DAS application has been a recurring question on the hotline in the past. Unfortunately, the operating system can only associate one application with a file type that will open the file on double-click. This is why the Q-DAS Launcher was developed. The Q-DAS Launcher can be linked to the DFQ and DFD files during installation - or subsequently. In this way, double-clicking on a DFQ or DFD file will open the Q-DAS Launcher, where a Q-DAS product can be specifically selected to analyse the data. The Q-DAS Launcher is the central launch platform for starting the various Q-DAS applications or selecting a different release per product. Link to: Q-DAS Launcher

Overview of the application path 
The "Directories" dialogue provides the paths used by the Q-DAS applications. These are, for example, the default masks, reports, logo or default directory for DFQ files. An overview of the various configurations for the directories and paths that are used by the Q-DAS applications is part of a separate topic. Link to: Q-DAS Application Paths

Configuration Management 
Due to the configuration management, responsible persons have the opportunity to adjust the settings and configurations for user groups and single users. This tool has many advantages, especially when working with various user groups having different demands.

Default Reports
After an installation the default reports are saved in the folder …\PLANT\DEFAULT\Reports. This document describes the folder structure and the reports that are included in the standard delivery.
