The Chimp will now start to boot and shortly after you will be seeing a bootmenu which auto-continues
the boot process after a few seconds. Additionally, the boot menu offers some test and maintenance
utilities. The Chimp will perform a couple of checks while booting up and will present you with the
Welcome Screen as soon as it is done:

The welcome screen allows you to either create a new show, or load an existing showfile. Showfiles
contain all of your show related settings like fixture schedule and patch, input settings, groups, presets,
cues and master assignments.
