How can I jump right to the main menu when demoing Alive?
When using Alive, in order to unlock the main menu, you need to demonstrate your ability to control your heart rate smoothness. There is spoon bending test, which occurs at the end of the coach, where you smooth your heart rate to bend the spoon. If you get a low score on the spoon bending you can choose to repeat it, or you can go through a series of steps designed to help you improve your ability to smooth your heart rate. After you go through about 4 or 5 processes, if you still can't bend the spoon the main menu is automatically unlocked.
While demoing Alive, if you want to jump directly to the main menu without completing the spoon bending, AND ARE FINE WITH DESTROYING YOUR EXISTING ALIVE TEST USER, you can follow these steps:
1) If you have not yet run Alive, please run it once, then exit. This will create the User/Documents/Alive Sessions directory.
2) Download the AliveSessions.zip replacement session directory to your desktop or another easy to find location.
3) Open your documents folder, there should be a folder "Alive Sessions". Find and open this folder.
4) Make sure Alive is closed, then unzip or extract the files from the AliveSessions.zip to the "Alive Sessions" folder on your computer, overwriting the existing somaticvision.db and other files already in that directory.
5) Open Alive and click on the "Main Menu" user.
For clinicians we have a special version of Alive, the Alive Clinical Verison. In addition to a number of additional graphing modes, and extensive review, there is a clinician control panel which allow users to immediately unlock the main menu (and go to the main menu) at any time.
