The left side of the splash screen displays a list of recent ABC Analyzer Project-files that you have used and provides a shortcut to these files. Furthermore it is possible to use the shortcuts to open another project file (not included in the list – received by e-mail etc.) or start the import guide to begin a new project.

On the right hand side of the splash we supply a news feed from our brand new weblog. This will allow you to stay updated regarding the newest analysis possibilities, features and development.
