CD ROM CONTENTS As in the original FACS, the new version has several pieces, but now they are all on this single CD ROM: 1- the text of the Manual and the Investigator's Guide in PDF format in the Manual directory; 2- the video examples and practice in MPEG 1 format together in the original series in the Master1.mpg file in the Manual directory, and as individual segments in the Manual/Practice/Video and Manual/Examples/Video directories (in the ../Video/QT directories are QuickTime copies of the MPEGs); 3- the practice and example images (photos) in high resolution in the PDF file, and in lower resolution for screen display in the /Manual/Practice and /Manual/Examples directories; 4- a scoresheet at the end of the Manual; 5- a program that helps enter FACS scores into a computer file and checks the practice scoring against the criterion scores. INSTALL VIEWER TO READ MANUAL To read the PDF files, you need to have a PDF viewer installed. Adobe Acrobat Reader? is the standard viewer, but Adobe eBook Reader? can also be used, and it has some more features, but it is not able to display the videos. You may already have Acrobat Reader or eBook Reader installed on your computer, in which case you can begin to read the Manual immediately. If not, the latest versions of Acrobat Reader for Windows?, Linux?, and Macintosh? are on the CD. To install Acrobat Reader from the CD ROM, go to the Acrobat directory, go to the directory representing your operating system, then go to the directory representing a language (a choice for Windows only). If you are using Windows or a Macintosh, run the executable program by invoking it from your file system navigator or any other appropriate technique. You will be asked to accept the license agreement for the program. Follow the directions on the screen to complete the installation. If you are using Linux, unzip the gzip file using the command: tar -xvzf linux-ar-405.tar.gz which creates a ILINXR.install directory. In the directory is an installation shell script (INSTALL) and instructions in INSTGUID.TXT which should be consulted for details. You will be asked to accept the license during use. Viewing the videos in an external viewer with this reader may be problematic with certain versions of Linux, players, or shells. If so, you can access the videos manually. An Adobe PDF reader for most other operating systems is probably available from the Adobe Web site. See the Web page Acrobat Reader system requirements: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrsystemreqs.html If Acrobat Reader is not available for your operating system, you can use Acrobat Viewer, a reader that runs with Java. You can download Viewer from the Adobe Web site and use the same Java runtime for it as for the FACS Score Checker. Virtually every operating system can run a suitable version of the Java Runtime that will support Viewer and Checker. Unfortunately, Adobe does not support Viewer, it is back-level to Reader, and has some functional problems. Also, its requirements for the Java runtime and other technical issues probably mean you will have to consult a Java programmer to get it to work. So, get Reader or eBook Reader if you can. If you would like to use eBook Reader, or to find another language or operating system version of Acrobat Reader, or to obtain the Adobe Acrobat Viewer, go to the Adobe Web site, download the program, and install it according the instructions you find there. These readers are free. Adobe Web site: http://www.adobe.com Once you have installed a viewer, open the Manual.pdf file in the Manual directory, or open the Investigator's Guide in the InvGuide.pdf file. You can now read the documents online or print them. Each CD ROM has a license to print one hardcopy of the Manual and one of the Guide. If you want to print or copy more than one, you must purchase additional licenses to avoid violating your agreement for using this product. You may print or copy as many of the double-sided score sheets as you wish. You are not authorized to copy the multimedia items in any case. READING ONLINE V. PAPER COPY There are tradeoffs in using FACS online or in printed form. Reading the online version has many advantages. Hyperlinks to the images and videos quickly show the media, but you have to lookup the videos and view them manually if you are using a printed copy. Links to sections and chapters take you directly to the material of interest, which you would page to in a printed document. Searches of the content of the online document are much easier than manually searching a printed document. Conversely, a printed version can be more portable and has the familiarity of a printed book. Both Acrobat Reader and Adobe eBook Reader are relatively easy to learn and use. Knowing the functions available in your reader can greatly improve the online reading experience. Read the Help available from the reader's Menu Bar to learn more about the reader's functions. You can move, for example, back to the page you just read, to the page previous to the current page, to the first page, to the last page, etc. You can set bookmarks, and in most readers, attach sticky notes to the text. There are many other useful functions, such as text enhancement, that make online reading more productive than reading hardcopy. The Adobe Web site has more information and help for the readers. Reading materials online is easier when using a higher resolution display (e.g., 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 resolution), but lower resolutions can be helped with the print enhancement technology. HOW TO USE THE LINKS Links in the text are shown with blue type. A link in the text, when clicked, generally shows the referenced page in the same frame that displays the page containing the link. Sometimes, depending on the viewer and link, you may see the linked page in a new frame separate from the one with the link. (Links from scoring commentary's "(Get Neutral)" label is of this latter type.) The entire Table of Contents and the Subject Index are links. There are two types of links to the multimedia, one from the thumbnail image, and one from the related text label. If you click on the text link, the content is generally displayed in the same frame that contained the link. If you click on the link in the thumbnail, the content is shown in a separate frame. This feature allows the reader to go to the pages that have images, or to look at an image and the text at the same time. An exception is that you can view the neutral image of the person in an image in the Example or Practice Sections of the Manual by clicking on the caption of the example or practice item, and the neutral is shown in the external image viewer. These links are not marked by colored text for better printing, so you have to remember this feature. HOW TO SETUP MEDIA PLAYERS Corresponding to the two types of links to the multimedia are two possibly different viewers for each multimedia type (images and MPEG 1 or QuickTime? video). Links from the thumbnails invoke an external viewer. Links from the text generally use a viewer internal to the reader. The text links to images show the images on the manual pages. The text links to videos show QuickTime movies in the same frame as the text. A crucial point to remember when viewing the videos internal to the reader is to use the Escape key to dismiss the QuickTime player. Since the viewers for the text links are inte...
