Symbols and Conventions Used in Procedural Explanations
In chapters 1 to 4, the contents of the procedural explanations are indicated using the following
symbols.
Procedure
Operations are explained using flowcharts. See the example below for an
explanation of how various operations are indicated. All procedures are written
under the assumption that you are starting operation at the beginning of the
procedure, so you may not need to carry out all the steps in a procedure when
you are changing the settings.
