10.2 Program Navigation and Flowchart

The sequence of operation of the bqEASY™ program can be understood by reviewing the basic flowchart
in

Figure 12

. Using the program is simple – just start a new project and follow the steps sequentially from

1A to 5C. You can use the Next button, or click on the top tabs and left subsection labels to move to any
desired page. Some operations must be completed in sequence due to data dependencies, or to
implement the proper flow. Therefore, it is recommended that the prescribed sequence be followed, at
least at first.
