Using AIMBAT

Once installed, AIMBAT can be used in several ways, each of which has unique strengths depending on the task at hand:

  • Command line: Ideal for administrative tasks like adding data to a project, and exploring the data after they are added.
  • Interactive Shell: Similar to the CLI but with the added benefit of extra context and command history. Unlike the CLI, it is not possible to set parameters to nonsensical values.
  • Terminal UI: This is where processing typically happens. The TUI is designed for efficient, mouse-free, and keyboard-driven navigation for users familiar with the workflow.
  • Graphical UI: Mouse driven interface for users who prefer a more visual approach. The GUI is ideal for newer users who need more guidance and visual cues to navigate the workflow.
  • Python API: The preferred way for scripting and automated processing by writing custom Python scripts.

Complete walkthroughs for each of these options are presented in the following sections.
