Notes

• A compiled PDF version of the basic Solo and PLS_Toolbox documentation is available here: http://software.eigenvector.com/user/Solo_Software_UsersGuide.pdf. However, note that the PDF version is a static copy and it will be updated less frequently than the Wiki version of the documentation.

• Because Solo is the stand-alone version of PLS_Toolbox, most of the documentation is applicable to both products. However, you may find that in some cases references are made to the "Command Line" or to typing some command. In most cases, the same behavior can be achieved through the menus and/or the Workspace Browser. However, there are some options and some functionality which is only available in PLS_Toolbox.
