The appearance of the PI Manual Logger main window is dependent on whether the Display Getting Started Window on start up check box for the logged in user is checked in Tools > User Options. For more information, see Specify user preferences.
Getting Started window
By default, the Getting Started window is displayed when you start PI Manual Logger. This window provides shortcuts to some common tasks, including: managing tours and tour runs, entering data, transferring data between PC and a docked device, and managing PI Manual Logger user accounts and user groups.
