Radar 9 is a dream come true for all serious homeopaths.
Navigation through numerous windows has now
been greatly simplified. In fact, the entire
layout of menus and buttons is much less
cluttered, making commands much easier to
locate.
The new upgrade takes advantage
of Synthesis
9's entirely revamped database.
Response
times for word and concept searches
are much
quicker even with my Pentium
3 processor.
The user interface has been graphically enhanced in dramatic
and pleasing ways. All ten clipboards
are
now prominent on the left side
of the Investigation
window with their beautiful new
icons.
The new Investigation window allows us to see not only all remedies and
chosen rubrics but view limitations
with
the Restrict To button to see
Families, Nosodes,
Periodic Table, and Polycrests
eliminations.
I love the adoption of Encyclopedia Homeopathica's
(EH) new families hierarchy into the program.
I like the ability to use Merge Clipboards, Divided Clipboard, and Select All Clipboards
while doing a case analysis.
Even better
is the ease of use of the Display
menu command
"Make the Analysis in EH"
and "Search
Those Symptoms in EH."
Now repertories in Radar 9 do what they should
have always done, access provings and materia medica directly. Additionally, homeopaths can customize analysis
preferences for the first time
so that strategies
can be integrated. Sum of Symptoms
can be
viewed together with Small Remedies.
For the first time ever homeopaths can combine
rubrics from Synthesis and the Complete Repertory 2003. This version of Roger van Zandvoort Complete
includes many contemporary additions
and
cross references not contained
in the Complete
Millennium used by other vendors.
Now Radar 9 can utilize a total of twenty-three useful repertories including the Complete Repertorium Universale.
The presentation of all the graphs
is striking
and Radar 9 is even more tightly
integrated
with the materia medica search
software capabilities
in EH. Remedies under consideration
in Radar
9 can now be "text outsourced"
to EH and re-imported into Radar
for documentation
purposes.
And one more item under the hood,
when in
doubt in any window, just right
click and
a whole wealth of useful commands
become
available.
This is a major upgrade that will greatly
augment how homeopaths solve difficult cases.
