After installing and running the software, this screen is displayed. The large pane in the center contains a guides to help you get started with the software. This will become the design area after creating a new program or opening an existing one. On the left are the controls grouped by function. The controls can be dragged into the design area. On the right are the existing four projects grouped by category, which can be expanded by the downloadable ones. This area contains the build and the programming instructions. The larger left pane at the bottom is where the programming tiles are configured, and the smaller right pane shows some rollover help. There is also a Remote Control feature accessible from the menus at the top that allows control of a simple model, such as the Driving Base, via the arrow keys and space bar.
