Example Conventions

In examples, a modified ellipsis (...) indicates an omission. The code in Example i can

be abbreviated as shown in Example ii.

In examples with user input, user input is shown in bold type and it is assumed that the

user presses Return after typing the input. For instance, in the example:

ENTER RUN CODE

?123

CODE RECEIVED: 123.00

the system displays ENTER RUN CODE on one line and prompts the user with a

question mark (?)on the next line, the user types 123 and presses Return, and the

system displays CODE RECEIVED: 123.00.

Change Bar Notation

A change bar (as shown to the right of this paragraph) indicates a substantive

difference between this edition of the manual and the preceding edition. Change bars

highlight new or revised information.
