 How to set-up DIANA
====================
This how-to guide explains how to prepare the DianaIE environment for usage in the VIIA project.

Step 1 - Enable the python console
==================================
Nearly all actions in DianaIE can be done with python commands. To track how this is done in realtime the python console
should be activated. This can be done in the 'Command console' of DianaIE.

Step 2 - Write to python console
================================
To make sure DianaIE will write all the executed commands to the python console the preference of DianaIE should be
checked. To do this the preference window should be opened:

In this windows the settings 'Write logging to python console' should be enabled.

Also the background colours should be set to white.
