1. 4 Conventions
Notes are used to provide the reader with either statutory information which must be
observed for safety reasons, or additional information which may increase the FM4900's
effectiveness.
A pair of arrows around a word indicates a key on the keyboard, such as
<space> or <escape>
There are two exceptions to this, which appear on some of the menus:
<display> indicates that selecting the option will lead to data being displayed on the screen.
<menu> indicates that the option leads to another menu, from which further options may be
chosen.
Screen displays that contain variable information, such as the current date or time, show the
variable in italics, surrounded by square brackets, i.e.
[time] , or “[nodename]”. The
speechmarks indicate that the field contents can be specified by the user.
Where menu items are referred to in the text, these are shown in italics to help the reader to
cross relate to menu information.
Screen examples: the FM4900 allows you to use one of three options for displaying the
menus on a terminal - ANSI, VT100/VT220 or TTY.
The screen examples in this manual use VT100/VT220 and are shaded to allow easy
identification by the reader.
