The Quick-start Guide


The "Quick-start Guide" provides a brief summary of the SABAP2 protocol and information on how to register and take part in the atlas, without having to download the complete Instruction Manual. Although it will help you in getting up and running as an atlaser relatively quickly, we do recommend that you also keep a copy of the complete Manual handy as there is a lot of additional information in the manual that you will need to be aware of as a project participant.
