Configuring JSonar

Please follow these steps to configure JSonar for optimal performance and interoperability with the Sonar software.

Set up Wizard

• *** This step is essential ***
  Use Control+JAWSKey+R to start the “Setup Wizard”, which enables the Sonar JAWS control surface plugin. You need only do this once, unless JSonar complains that the surface is not installed.

Sonar Settings

• In order to run JSonar optimally in Sonar 7, it is necessary to configure Sonar toolbars in the following way. In order for some information to be read or commands to function, certain toolbars must be enabled in Sonar while others have to be disabled. The visibility of toolbars can be toggled in the Toolbars dialog under the View menu. Some toolbar names are self explanatory, but notes have been included where this is not the case.

• To improve Sonar's responsiveness with JSonar, it is absolutely necessary to turn off X-ray feature; go to Options->General and uncheck the checkbox that says"Enable X-Ray". Failure to do so can make many of your plug-ins work incorrectly.
