A quick tour of a pre-prepared KMP profile analysis ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** Once you enter this program you will see the Main Menu: ______________________________________________________ | | [ ] Tension Flow Rhythms [ ] Bipolar Shape/Flow | | [ ] Tension Flow Attributes [ ] Unipolar Shape/Flow | | [ ] Pre-Efforts [ ] Shaping in Directions | | [ ] Efforts [ ] Shaping in Planes | | | [CREATE INPUT FILE] [ANALYZE INPUT FILE] [EDIT FILE] | | [TO ORDER] [NO WARRANTY] [HELP] [EXIT PROGRAM] | ________________________________________________________ To see a pre-prepared example of a KMP analysis and the graphs that can be produced by this program: * click on the names of all eight diagrams (or on those you wish to see). * click [ANALYZE INPUT FILE]. * You will see a list of existing input files for demonstration. click on the file baby.tfr, click OK. * The program will display the KMP graphs on screen. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** ** 2. An overview of making a KMP profile with this program. ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** In order to produce your own analyses, you need to follow the next two steps: (A) creating an input file for each KMP analysis (i.e. a maximum of eight files). (B) analyzing the input files and plotting the KMP graphs on the screen. The following text goes in detail through the procedure for each of these two steps. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** ** 3. A detailed description of preparing the input files. ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** (3.1) In the main menu, click on the analyses you would like to do (an x will appear in bracket). For example [x] Tension Flow Rhythms [x] Pre-Efforts You may choose to enter data for one KMP diagram, or more. (3.2) click on [create input files] You will see a new screen: Name your file by changing myfile to the name you choose. Press [OK]. If the file already exists, you will get the message: <[YES] [NO]> Click on the appropriate button. The next screen will show the first KMP category that you chose in step 3.1. If, for example, you chose [Tension Flow Rhythms] you will see all the KMP elements needed for creating a rhythms file on the screen. You will need to use the mouse to input the KMP elements for each KMP diagram. We now explain how to create the input file for each diagram. __________________________________________________________________ | | TENSION FLOW RHYTHMS: | | [ ] Sucking (o) [1]!

Now you will have to click all the other rhythms that are included in the underlined rhythm. For example: ______________________________________________________________ | | [x]straining [x]sucking [x]twisting | [x]underline [ ]underline [ ]underline | | [x]Free [CONTINUE TO NEXT ENTRY] |_______________________________________________________________ Sometimes an underline rhythm includes few rhythms from the same type. For example: _as o o o . (This notation means one underlined straining, with three sucking rhythms inside). Near the name of each rhythm you will find a little arrow. Press on the arrow : You will see a line of numbers. Click the number of rhythms you need. 3 in our example. This number will be automatically placed in the brackets next to the rhythms name: __________________________________________________________ | | [x] sucking (o) [3]!

When you finish creating the rhythm file press [DONE CREATING FILE]. This will lead you to the next type of file to be created. When you complete creating all input files chosen in the main menu, you will return to the main menu. ______________________________________________________________ | | TENSION FLOW ATTRIBUTES: | | [ ]even [ ]flow adjustments [ ]High Intensity | [ ]rebound [ ]rebound [ ]rebound | | [ ]Neutral [ ]Free [ ]Bound | _____________________________________________________________ * Click attribute [x]even and its flow change [x]neutral. * click few attributes [x] high intensity [x]abrupt [x]free * Rebound to even: press [x]even [x]rebound Each time you finish an element press [CONTINUE TO NEXT ENTRY]. When you finish creating the Attributes file press [DONE CREATING FILE]. PRE-EFFORTS AND EFFORTS You can choose to input pre-efforts and efforts together. This will help when you have elements that have pre-efforts and efforts. For examples an element with direct, strong and sudden. The program will calculate the sudden to the pre-efforts diagram and the direct strong to the efforts diagram. ____________________________________________________________ | | PRE-EFFORTS | | [ ]channeling [ ] flexibility [ ]gentle | [ ]vehemence/straining | | [ ]hesitation [ ]sudden | | [ ]free [ ]bound |___________________________________________________________ AN IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN YOU CLICK [X]VEHEMENCE/STRAINING YOU NEED TO ADD FLOW CHANGES.

The program will calculate across & shrinking to the shaping in direction diagram and descending retreating & shrinking to the shaping in planes diagram. *Click the posture button when needed. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** ** 4. Correcting input/ typing errors during the ** ** preparation of input files ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** If, during the preparation of the input files you pressed the wrong button on the screen, or missed a button, the error may be corrected by the following procedure. First, if [continue to next entry] was not pressed yet, simply click again on the button that was pressed by mistake to remove the [x] mark from it. Similarly, click on any unclicked [ ] to add a missing [x] mark. However, if [continue to next entry] was pressed, a line with a code representing the pressed buttons was already written into the input file that is being created. This line must now be removed. To do so: (1) Press [done creating file]. (2) Return to the main menu. (3) Press [Edit Files] to start the notepad application. (4) Click on the menu in Notepad and then on . (5) Open the appropriate file. e.g. if the error was in creating the TFR file with a file name RUTH, open the file RUTH.TFR. Note that if the error was during the creation of a pair of files, such as EFF and PEF, both files need to be corrected. (6) Go to the end of the file, and erase the last line. (7) Save the file and exit the Notepad application (8) On the KMP main menu, Press [create input files] and specify the same file name for which the error was made. When asked if to overwrite or to append to the file, specify . (9) Continue inserting KMP entries into the file, starting from the one in which the mistake was made. - This is clearly not an easy procedure, so --- --- dont make mistakes... ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** ** 5. A detailed description of running the analysis on the ** ** prepared input files and of plotting the KMP graphs. ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** * Make sure the KMP diagrams you want to plot are marked with [x]. If not, click on them. * click on [analyze input files] to run the analysis. * click on the name of the file you created for analysis. * The program will display the KMP diagrams on screen. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** ** 6. Printing the KMP graphs on paper ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** In order to print the graphs shown on the screen by the KMP analysis program: Clicking [Print Diagrams] when the diagrams are displayed on screen should result in a high quality printout of all diagrams on one page. If this does not work for some reason, or if the printout comes out distorted in any way, try using the [Print Screen] button. This results in a lower quality printout, and also prints only diagrams shown on the screen at the moment of printing. You will therefore need to use the vertical scroll bar on the right hand side of the diagrams in order to scroll up/down, to display the diagrams you wish to print, and then to click [Print Screen] to print them on paper. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** ** 7. Printing the output files with KMP statistics. ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** The program creates an output file that contains all the KMP tables and a list of mixed rhythms. If, when creating input file, you chose the file name RUTH, the output file will be named RUTH.out. To open and print the output file click [EDIT FILES] on the main menu of the program. You will get the notepad application, which allows you to examine and print text files such as the KMP input and output files. In the Notepad, click on the FILE menu, choose OPEN, and open the output file you wish to examine or print (e.g. RUTH.out). Once the file is opened you can print it using the PRINT item on the FILE menu in the Notepad application. ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** ** 8. Editing the input files. ** ***************************************************************** ***************************************************************** You may wish to look at and modify the input files you created. This is done by clicking on [edit files] in the KMP main menu, which opens the notepad application. Using the Notepad, the KMP input files may be opened and edited. (Modifying the input files using the notepad is an advanced feature which will not be needed by most people). The following text describes the abbreviations used in the input files to denote each KMP parameter. For example, when you insert an oral rhythm for the Tension Flow Rhythms analysis, the computer inserts the letter o into the appropriate input file. When you want to manually modify these files, you will need to use the computer codes described here. Which file contains what diagram? The file name is composed of the name you chose for the analysis (e.g. RUTH) plus a three letter extension given in the following table: ** (1) Tension Flow Rhythms ........... TFR ** ** (2) Tension Flow Attributes ........... TFA ** ** (3) Precursors of Efforts ........... PEF ** ** (4) Effort ........... EFF ** ** (5) Bipolar Shape Flow ........... BSF ** ** (6) Unipolar Shape Flow ........... USF ** ** (7) Shaping In Directions ........... SHD ** ** (8) Shaping In Planes ........... SHP ** so that the file containing the tension flow rhythms codes, for example, is RUTH.TFR. Tension Flow Rhythms: --------------------- Type your data in the following way: each rhythm on a separate line. o - oral, os - biting or chewing, a - anal, as - anal aggressive, u - urethral, us - urethral aggressive, ig - inner genital, igs - inner genital aggressive, og - outer genital, ogs - outer genital aggressive. Mixed rhythms will be printed on the same line with space between any component. (o as us). Underline rhythm will have (_) before the rhythm. (o _as u). List of sorted mixed rhythms can be found in file extension .out Tension Flow Attributes: ------------------------- Each action (or flow changes) on a separate line. Type your data in the following way: f - free, b - bound, n - neutral, ev - even, ad - adjustment, hi - high intensity, lo - low intensity, ab - abrupt, gr - gradual. for rebound attach r to the attribute:( f n rev lo gr). Pre-Efforts/ Efforts data file: ------------------------------- (File may include only Pre Efforts or both Pre Efforts and Efforts.) Type your data in the following way: f - free, b - bound, ch - channeling, fl - flexibility, ve - for vehemence and straining and dont forget to add the free or bound components!! (f ch ve) or (b fl ve), ge - gentle, su - sudden, he - hesitation. Efforts data file: (File may include only Efforts or both Pre Efforts and Efforts.). Type your data in the following way: f - free, b - bound, p - posture. dir - direct, ind- indirect, str - strong, lig - light, acc - acceleration, dec - deceleration, Note that Effort codes include three letters to help you distinguish between pre-effort and efforts in combined files. Bipolar/Unipolar shape flow (BSF/USF): -------------------------------------- (File may include only Bipolar or both Bipolar and Unipolar.) Type your data in the following way: na - narrow, wi - widen, sh - shorten, le - lengthen, ho - hollow, bu - bulge. If you want to note only growing and shrinking without specific bipolar shape flow, use g - growing, s - shrinking. Unipolar shape flow (USF): ------------------------- (File may include only USF or both BSF and USF.) Type your data as follow: nar - narrowing, wid - widening, sdo - shortening down, ldo - lengthening down, sup - shortening up, lup - lengthening up, hfo - hollowing forward, bfo - bulging forward, hba - hollowing back, bba - bulging back. Note that usf codes has 3 letters to help distinguish between bipolar shape flow and unipolar shape flow in mixed files. Shaping in directions/ planes (SHD/SHP): ---------------------------------------- (File may include only SHD or both SHD and SHP.) File extension needs to be .SHD. Type your data as follow: g - growing, s - shrinking, ac - across, si - sideways, do -downward, up - upward, ba - backward, fo - forward. Shaping in Planes (SHP) data file: ---------------------------------- (File may include only SHP or both SHD and SHP.). Type your data as follow: g - growing, s - shrinking, p - posture enc - enclosed, spr - spread, des - descend, asc - ascend, ret - retreat, adv - advanced, Note that Shaping in Planes codes has 3 letters to distinguish between Shaping in directions in mixed files.
