2.1 About this manual

The dScope Series III Applications Manual is provided in two different formats: as a conventional

printed manual, and also as 'online help' which can be viewed whilst operating the dScope. The

printed version is also provided in 'electronic' format, as a 'pdf' file, with the dScope software. These

files can be viewed and printed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free at

www.adobe.com

. Updates of the manuals are available from the Prism Sound website at

www.prismsound.com

When viewed on-line, the manual pages are accompanied by a navigation area to the left. Therein, a

"Contents" section shows a hierarchical map of the entire document from which desired pages can be

selected. Next to "Contents", the "Index" section allows instant access to pages describing particular

topics. The "Search" section lists all pages containing a particular word or phrase, and the "Favorites"

section can be used to save page locations for future reference.

When viewed as on-line help, each page is headed by a title block which shows the name of the

page, plus some links on the right-hand side. The upper row of links refer to topics above the current

page in the manual's hierarchy. Below, a "See Also" link often appears which accesses a pop-up box

containing a list of related topics.

Within the body of each page, certain font and highlighting conventions are used:
