Startup modes
StellarWindow provides two different startup modes (*2):‘Light Mode’and‘Standard Mode’(*1).
Both of these modes are run based on the same program and the difference
between these two modes is observed in their operation settings that are loaded when StellarWindow
is launched.
The Light Mode is designed to enable light StellarWindow operations. Please refer to the
second half of this Users’ Guide for the details of individual settings including those for
stars and planets.
Even if you have initially selected the Standard Mode to run StellarWindow with, the operation
settings of the Light Mode can be resembled by performing setting changes. This
applies vice versa when using the Light Mode to resemble the operation settings of the Standard
Mode.
These two different startup modes are provided so that StellarWindow is able to respond
to PCs with a large variety of performance levels. The Light Mode is suitable for PCs with
a limited memory capacity as StellarWindow may not run in the Standard Mode with such
PCs.When using a PC with a limited memory capacity, the optimum operation settings can
be discovered by performing gradual setting changes while running StellarWindow in the
Light Mode.
Please refer to the ‘Additional information: Details of Standard Mode and Light Mode’ for further details of the startup modes.

The Standard Mode is displayed as “StellarWindow v1.0.”
Display of the startup process status
The startup process status is displayed on the splash window (*3). It may take some time for
the initial launch of StellarWindow in the Standard Mode.
Although the background of the splash window may become dark or flickering depending
upon your PC environment, this does not affect the startup process.
The splash window that appears when StellarWindow is launched
The detailed startup process status is exhibited in the area surrounded by the red line as shown

Before launching StellarWindow, the auxiliary sensor must be connected to a USB terminal
(*4).The following error message appears when launching StellarWindow without the auxiliary
sensor connected to a USB terminal and the startup process is accordingly discontinued.
Click “Cancel” or “Abort” button to close the window. Next, connect the auxiliary sensor
and then restart StellarWindow.
When the sensor is not connected
StellarWindow cannot be launched without the sensor connected to a USB terminal.
