Chapter A - GDT User's Manual
A.4 General Information
The GDT controller should be installed by an authorised ICP-vortex distributor. Precond i-
tion for the safe installation is an antistatic work place (earthed mat on the table with wrist
bands connected to an earth). ICP-vortex does not take any responsibility for damage aris-
ing out of improper installation. This manual contains all the information available at the
time it was written. Errors and/or incomplete information are possible. We are grateful for
any ideas or suggestions for improvement. Additional information may be found in the i n-
formation file
"README.GBR"
on the enclosed System Disk "DOS". Besides up-to-date
information, this file also contains a list of all programs on the ICP-vortex System Disks.
The contents of the file README.GBR must be read before the GDT controller is
used for the first time. Output is possible on printer or screen.
This

ler. For information on the use of the computer system and its operating system, please
