a basic understanding of technical and software terms. No special skills are required to read this
manual.

installing the hardware and software , where you will find important information about the
installation and first steps.
The printed manual and help are basically the same, so it is up to you which one you will use.
The help offers you the advantage of scrolling through the text in a non-linear fashion, picking
up all information you need, especially if you use the
Index , and the Search function. If you
are going to read larger text passages, however, you may prefer the printed manual.

that the provided documentation is not always up to date. The
l atest information can be found
in the help. Check also the MCS Web site (www.multichannelsystems.com) for downloading up-
