Older quick guides

These "quick guides" covering parts of the workflow outlined in the newer SCORS overview were created by users over time and may be slightly outdated. They are child pages to this lab page and kept there for now in case they may help new users.

These video tutorial videos were recorded in May 2019 for Correlator v.3.  They are slightly outdated in regard to new and improved features on Correlator 4 but the overall workflow remains the same.
