Using this Manual
In order to be specific about where features and commands are found, the following naming and
text conventions will be used:
• Facepanel buttons are indicated in bold [brackets]. For example, [Live] or [Enter]. Optional
keys are indicated in <angle brackets>, for example, <Cue> or <Sub>.
• Browser menus, menu items, and commands you must perform are indicated in bold text. For
example: In the File menu, click Open. Or: Press [Record] [Enter].
• Alphanumeric keyboard buttons are indicated in all CAPS. For example, TAB or CTRL.
• Keys which are intended to be pressed or held simultaneously are indicated with the “and”
symbol. For example, [Shift] & [+].
• Softkeys and clickable buttons in the Central Information Area (CIA) are indicated in bold
{braces}. A note about <More SK> (more softkeys): this command is always indicated as
optional, and is only indicated once in an instruction regardless of how many pages of softkeys
exist. This is because there is no way to predict what softkey page you are on at any given
time. Press <More Softkeys> until you find the required command.
• References to other parts of the manual are indicated in italics . When viewing this manual
electronically, click on the reference to jump to that section of the manual.
