Reference

Welcome to the reference guide of SAInt. The reference aims at describing the components. It is only information based and does not explain how to use the software. The reference guide covers all SAInt modules (electricity, gas, etc.). Therefore the images used should be seen as interchangeable between modules. The reference describes the software layers, graphical user interface, objects, properties, scenarios, functions, and scenarios. In addition, the glossary lists the commonly used terms, unit types available, abbreviations, and acronyms.

The reference guide does not require internet access. However, the documentation is dynamic and continuously updated. When opening the documentation, if an internet connection is available, a message will inform the user that there are changes that can be downloaded.

The documentation is accessible by pressing F1 in any SAInt window. This will redirect the user to the specific topic inside the reference guide.
