Because the appearance of many pages presented by the Empirica Signal application relies on choices made on previous pages, Oracle recommends that you do not use the browser's Back button. Choices made on other pages may not be captured appropriately. To make navigation between pages easier, while providing accurate information on each page, Back links appear on many application pages. It is preferable to use these Back links, and the left navigation pane, to navigate to another page.
Do not run more than one session of the application using multiple browser sessions or several tabs in the same browser.

A PDF file that you create for a topic might include links to open ZIP files that are attached to the topic. Security features in Adobe Acrobat Reader might prevent you from opening a ZIP file from within the PDF file. See the Adobe website for instructions on modifying this behavior.
If you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.x, you might need to set link options correctly to view certain types of attachments from within a topic PDF file.
If you create ZIP archive files when downloading data, you must have a ZIP file compression and extraction utility, such as WinZip, installed on your computer. WinZip is available at www.winzip.com. You must also associate the file extension .zip with the ZIP file utility.
If you plan to download data to Microsoft Excel®, make sure that Excel is installed on your computer.
