| 19 | Follow these steps to start working with HeuristicLab Optimizer: |
| 20 | 1. Open an algorithm |
| 21 | * click (New Item) in the toolbar and select an algorithm or click (Open File) in the toolbar and load an algorithm from a file |
| 22 | 2. Open a problem in the algorithm |
| 23 | * in the Problem tab of the algorithm click (New Problem) and select a problem or click (Open Problem) and load a problem from a file |
| 24 | 3. Set parameters |
| 25 | * set problem parameters in the Problem tab of the algorithm |
| 26 | * set algorithm parameters in the Parameters tab of the algorithm |
| 27 | 4. Run the algorithm |
| 28 | * click (Start/Resume Algorithm) to execute the algorithm (if the button is grayed out some parameters of the algorithm or the problem still have to be set) |
| 29 | * wait for the algorithm to terminate or click (Pause Algorithm) to interrupt its execution or click (Stop Algorithm) to stop its execution |
| 30 | 5. Check results |
| 31 | * check the results on the Results tab of the algorithm |
| 32 | * click (Start/Resume Algorithm) to continue the algorithm or click (Reset Algorithm) to prepare a new run |
