Slider allows animating Post-Pro field presentations in the most simple and efficient way. Slider works only with field presentations created on all timestamps of the field.

The presentations compatible with this functionality can be synchronized (in terms of timestamps) and moved along the time axis to reproduce the corresponding physical process.

Slider also provides memory management possibilities, which allow the user to define a suitable compromise between the available computer resources and the navigation performance.

Animation is an earlier implementation of the same functionality. However, it provides some extended possibilities, such as saving presentations into AVI files.

To activate Slider, in the Main menu select View -> Windows -> Slider

Navigation tab provides possibilities for managing and running the animation:

The scroll bar allows to navigate through the timestamps. The values of the first and the last timestamps are displayed.
The control buttons allow to launch or to end the sweeping, run it forward or backward, move to the next or the previous frame.
The drop-down field to the left lists the timestamps by their order numbers from 1 to n.
The drop-down field to the right lists the values of the timestamps.
Cycled button allows to view the animation in the loop.

Properties tab allows setting memory management properties.

Minimal radio button commands the application to use a minimum amount of memory
Limited radio button allows to set the upper limit for the amount of used memory
Used and Free fields allow to set target values for used and free memory.
Speed scroll allows to set the speed of the presentation.
