#SOCET SET Workstation Setup
There are three primary paths defined in the SOCET SET defaultconfiguration. These paths are site dependent, and are:
*<install\_path> = The path for executables and system level support files in the SOCET SET application suite. At the Astrogeology Guest Facility, this path is C:\SOCET_SET_5.6.0.
*<data\_path> = The default root path to the various project folders and project files (*.prj). At the Astrogeology Guest Facility, this path is D:\DATA.
*<image\_path> = The default root path to imagery for various project folders. At the Astrogeology Guest Facility, this path is E:\IMAGE.
In the case of a project named<ProjectName>, SOCET SET will expect to find all images in a folder path of<image\_path>\<ProjectName> (e.g., E:\\IMAGES\\<ProjectName>), and all data for the project in a folder path defined by<data\path><ProjectName> (e.g., D:\\DATA\\ProjectName>).
In order to see 3D (stereo) correctly, it is important to have the two screens meet the beam splitter display device at sympathetic angles; this is accomplished by adjusting the beam splitter set screws to change the orientation of the beam splitter relative to the two display monitors. If the display appears “de-focused” it is necessary to make these adjustments before the measurement process is begun, in order to reduce the eye strain associated with the stereo viewing process.
The very first step is to locate the following icon on the Windows Desktop. Double click on this icon to start SOCET SET, and wait until all components are activated.
The Status Message Window should come up automatically (usually in the lower left corner of the console monitor.) This window captures status messages and error messages issued by SOCET SET, and is helpful to have open at all times.
If the Status Message window did not come up, do the following:
From the SOCET SET menu bar, select Tools > Status Message.
