The right configuration pane allows for viewing system configuration such as the s hip’s name and registry number. From here you can launch the Master Control Panel as well as the VoiceCommand application. VoiceCommand application. The buttons to the top of the pane allow you to cycle between the configuration for each application, view system information, access the comm system and system and exit the application. The 'SYSTEM INFORMATION' button displays simple information regarding the LCARS Launch centre and is intended for simple information purposes only. The COMM button allows access to LCARS 47's inbuilt communications screen. This is simply a screen allowing users to view videos regarding LCARS status updates and other relevant news. Once the connection has been established (Internet connection required) click the 'EST LINK' button to start the video. The 'SUSPEND' button will pause the video, to resume, press the 'EST LINK' button again. 'TERMINATE LINK' will stop playback.

The Master Control Panel (MCP) allows for easy customization of mission overview, mission logs, and personnel database modules, as well as customization of the ship name and registration number.

Once started, the MCP will display a welcome screen. Along the top, the exit button will return you to the main MCP screen, where you can then exit the program using the Close button in the right hand bottom corner. In the bottom left corner is the program version. This is useful to ensure you have the latest version of the program installed.

The Champaign button allows editing of the ship name and registration number for the ship in all LCARS 47 Platforms. On the left side of the screen are options for editing non Starfleet ship configurations such as Klingon HaSta, HaSta , where the difference to the Starfleet registry number is the commanding house name. Below that is the vessel designation for Imperium, Alvearium, and Duplex Carbasa. These have a similar registry difference, Alvearium has “unimatrix” unimatrix ”, and Duplex Carbasa has Carbasa has “order “order ”.

Mission Overview allows customization of the ship's current assignment or mission. Subject headers are in gold and editable text can be changed by the user. Editing the sections can be done by clicking on the text you want to change, deleting the current entry and entering new text. Once you have made all of the changes you want to make click the save button on the right hand side.

Mission Logs is the section where log entries can be made. They are listed by entry date and are categorized by three log types, “mission “mission log” log”, “supplemental “supplemental””, and “personal “personal””. Enter the stardate, then the author of the log entry, the type of entry, and then you can start entering the main body of information contained in the log itself. On the right hand s ide of the screen the ‘prev’ and ‘next’ buttons move through the list as indicated, and the save button commits the changes made to the system.

The Personnel DB button allows the user to enter themselves into the crew database. Name, Rank, Identification (Serial Number), Assignment, Assignment, Date Of Birth, and Species can all be edited. The Biography can also be edited but in the MCP there should not be any new paragraphs made. After every new line (Enter key press) Prolixus will automatically display the data as a new paragraph.

The VoiceCommand application allows users to control LCARS 47 through the windows speech recognition system. It contains the same voice commands as previous LCARS 47 releases.

The main screen is styled like a Star Trek: Nemesis style Nemesis style door pad, and activates and deactivates the voice command feature. Pressing the large center button will act as a door chime. The 'ACTV' (activate) button just underneath and to the left of the central button will start voice recognition and display the 'DEAC' (deactivate) button which will stop voice recognition. The 'INFO' button at the top displays a dialogue box detailing simple information on the application. The button on the bottom left will allow you to change the confidence level needed for the program to execute a command. The higher the level, the higher the confidence level needed. This is useful if you are in a fairly noisy environment. The button on the bottom right will display the logger form.

There is a secondary screen containing a log of commands recently used. This is useful if there are any problems with the program recognizing the command. This feature is hidden and you can access this button by pressing the bottom left button on the voice command main screen. It will display information regarding the programs confidence in the command it received. If the confidence is below the preset level, the command will not be triggered. It is recommended that you use the Windows Speech Recognition Voice Training to help the computer recognize your voice more clearly. This will in turn help the system increase its confidence in understanding the commands you issue. Note: The VoiceCommand creates a log file when it is used, and this file can become very large if you use the VoiceCommand application regularly. It is recommended to purge this file periodically to avoid issues with space. The log file is located in "C:\Program Files\LCARS 47\fscommand\Config\VC", or "C:\Program Files (x86)\LCARS 47\fscommand\Config\VC" for 64-bit systems.

Champaign Champaign started as an optional update whereby users could edit the name and registry of the ship listed throughout the LCARS 47 suite. The feature is now fully integrated into LCARS 47. As stated previously these details can be changed in the Master Control Panel accessible via the LaunchCenter

Experiment with spacing in between the "USS" and the name of the Starship.

Avoid using registry numbers below 4 digits (unless using Galaxiae or Anticuus) and above 5 digits as there may be display anomalies when the registry exceeds the allotted placeholder space.

The Non-Federation ship sections do not use starship registries like Prolixus Prolixus and Vexillum, Vexillum , HaSta uses HaSta uses the Commanding house, Alvearium denotes Alvearium denotes the unimatrix for that ship designation, Imperium does not have any registry information , and Duplex Carbasa denotes the Order within the Cardasian military. military .

Drydock Upon installing LCARS 47, you may notice that both Vexillum and Vexillum and Prolixus display “MSD Load Errors”. This is because there is no schematic in stalled by default. To fix this, simply download a Drydock Plugin from Plugin from the LCARS downloads page (http://i.LCARS47.com/MSD ).
