General Structure of the Adjustment Tool
Before a user starts working with the FASTY system, it has to be adjusted to his/her specific needs and situation. The adjustment consists in the setting of a large number of parameters and options. This is not a trivial task, and it will be carried out in co-operation between the primary user and the carer. The Adjustment Tool (AT) will offer support in this process. It provides two modes, a simple one for beginners, and a more sophisticated one for advanced users.
The Adjustment Tool will contain some functionality based on functions of the User Ability Assessment Tool, but it will also contain extended features. The user runs a set of tests and answers some questions, which are intended to provide a picture of her abilities. The results are used to make settings in a first run. Those settings can be fine-tuned manually with increasing practice and experience. The user-presentation of the parameters will be divided into some user-modes like easy, medium and expert. This model ensures that all parameters may be changed. At the same time, inexperienced users will not be bothered by them.
