Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions with which you should become familiar.
Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep those
instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:
„
Names of front-panel controls and menus appear in the same case (initial
capitals, all uppercase, etc.) in the manual as is used on the sync pulse
generator front panel and menu.
„
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
„
Bold text refers to specific interface elements that you are instructed to select,
click, or clear.
Example: Press the SYSTEM button to display the System menu.
„
Italic text refer to document names or sections. Italics are also used in NOTES ,
CAUTIONS , and WARNINGS .
Example: Section 10, Mechanical Parts List , lists all field replaceable modules
by part number.
Modules
Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the sync
pulse generator is referred to generically as a module. In general, a module is an
assembly (like a circuit board), rather than a component (like a resistor or an
integrated circuit). Sometimes a single component is a module. For example, the
chassis of the sync pulse generator is a module.

Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the General Safety Summary and
Service Safety Summary near the beginning of this manual.
