Because of obvious differences between the
microcontroller programmer and
the
gang programmer , icons are used to distinguish descriptions and informa-
tion specific to each type of programmer. When there are no icons present, you
should assume the information is common to all programmers.
This icon is used to distinguish descriptions and information
specific to the microcontroller programmer.
This icon is used to distinguish descriptions and informa-
tion specific to the gang programmer.
When an icon is present, the information from the icon to the next icon, or to
the next section number (that is, 2.1, 2.2, 3.5, etc.)
, is specific to the program-
mer symbolized by the icon.
