\begin{abstract} 
The \pandaroot software is the growing simulation for the PANDA experiment. A a reference document is provided to help starters as well as the developers. The fast and full simulation are covered, as well as how to steer the simulations parameters. Also a collection of useful tools and links is given.

\section{Introduction}

\subsection{On this Document}

From experience it is always difficult for newcomers, e.g. students, to learn the ways of a new software. Therefore it is really helpful to have a starters guide. All the information is already available on the PandaWiki \cite{pandawiki} but was not compiled into one printable document yet.

Code developers and experienced users will find here a useful documentation part with some practical explanations to the subdetector packages of \pandaroot. 

Standing at the period of planning and construction of the PANDA detector it is obvious that the software is not finalized. Many changes, even substantial ones, can be expected in the future, rendering parts of this document obsolete.

\Notiz{This PANDA Note is a follow-up of a talk given on the Turin Meeting 2009.}



\subsection{The PANDA Experiment}
The PANDA experiment is a particle detector system planned as part of the FAIR \cite{fair} facility at Darmstadt. For a complete overview we recommend to read the PANDA TPR \cite{pandatpr} or the introduction chapters of the more recent EMC TDR \cite{emctdr}.
