CHM-T36VA_UserManual_OpenSource1p0

This revision document is a user-contributed translation of the user manual by a native

English speaker that is hopefully clearer than the original CharmHighV1.0. Names have

been changed to be more intuitively obvious, consistent across the functions and

compatible with industry jargon. Menus are based on software version 3615. New menu

descriptions have been created in the file smt_English_OpenSource1p0.qm, which can be

renamed to smt_English.qm and copied into the SmtMain folder for use by the SmtMain

control program.
