4 The program is based on a very in-tuitive graphical user interface. The user interface offers two simultaneous Control Regime Enables an easy control over the whole array ofthe sophisticated instrument measuring modes: Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) Magneticanisotropymea-sured using either the 15-position rotatable design or, in the case of theautomatic Kappabridge Versions (FA,A), using 1-Axis or two-axis (3D) Ro-tator1. AMS can be measured in variable fields and, depending uponthe Kappabridge Model and Version (Table1), at one or three operatingfrequencies;KLY5 Model simultaneously determines bothIn-PhaseandOut-of-Phaseanisotropy tensors. Bulk Susceptibility Volume- orMass-Normalized,In-PhaseandOut-of-Phas emagnetic susceptibility measured in variable driving fields and,depending upon the Kappabridge Model and Version (Table1), at one orthree operating frequencies.

For the best functionalityof the program, it is recommended that the default setting of the OS is used ( ,no custom colors, enlarged font sizes, ) InstallationPrior to the installation make sure that no otherAGICO computer program is cur-rently running. The actual installation procedure is very simple and follows theusual steps of the Microsoft Windows software installation. You can navigate a stepforward or backward by clicking onNext >or< Back, start theSafyr7 Setup Wizard(Figure1a). the installation directory (Figure1b). It is recommended to keep thedefault directory (C:\Agico\Safyr7) as pre-set by the installation the folder name in the Start menu (Figure1c). whether you want to create a desktop icon (Figure1d).
