Typographical Conventions
This section describes typographical conventions that have been
established for Thermo Fisher Scientific manuals.
Signal Word
Make sure you follow the precautionary statements presented in this
manual. The special notices appear different from the main flow of text:
NOTICE
Points out possible material damage and other important
information in connection with the instrument.
▲
Viewpoint Orientation
Left
and
right
used in this manual always refer to the viewpoint of a
person facing the front side of the instrument.
Data Input
Throughout this manual, the following conventions indicate data input
and output via the computer:
•
Messages displayed on the screen are represented by capitalizing the
initial letter of each word and by italicizing each word.
•
Input that you enter by keyboard is identified by quotation marks:
single quotes for single characters, double quotes for strings.
•
For brevity, expressions such as “choose
File > Directories
” are used
rather than “pull down the File menu and choose Directories.”
•
Any command enclosed in angle brackets < > represents a single
keystroke. For example, “press
<F1>
” means press the key labeled
F1
.
•
Any command that requires pressing two or more keys
simultaneously is shown with a plus sign connecting the keys. For
example, “press
<Shift>
+
<F1>
” means press and hold the <Shift>
key and then press the <F1> key.
•
Any button that you click on the screen is represented in bold face
letters. For example, “click
Close
”.
