Chapter 3 – Getting Started 
The StarLab application is used with the USBI, Pulsar and Quasar devices. The 
StarLab application supports the use of multiple heads and enables you to view 
each head’s information in a separate window. Each connection between the 
head, the device, and the application is referred to as a channel. 
Note: You can work with multiple devices and channels at the same time. For 
example, you can use two USBI or Quasar devices to work with two 
channels, or one Pulsar-4 device to work with one, two, three, or four 
channels. For each channel a separate application window appears 
displaying the head’s information. You can use multiple USBI, Pulsar 
and Quasar devices to create additional channel connections. 
You can use the following instructions for understanding and operating the 
StarLab application. Topics include:

Starting and Ending a StarLab Application Session  
To start a StarLab session: 
1.  From the desktop, double-click 
. The StarLab application opens. 
On startup, StarLab searches for devices. If only one is found, StarLab 
automatically opens in full screen mode (see Figure 3-2) and begins 
operation. If more than one device is found, or more than one head on a single 
device, refer to Chapter 8 – Working with Multiple Heads. 
Note: If the RP-USB application is already running, the StarLab application 
will not start. Click OK to close the warning box (see Figure 3-1) and 
then close the RP-USB.
