Conventions
In order to improve the readability of the manual, a menu-style breakdown was used, i.e.:
•
The individual chapters can be quickly located by means of a thumb register.
•
At the front of the manual is an overview containing the headings of the individual chapters.
•
Each chapter has its own detailed table of contents.
The individual chapters are subdivided into sections and subsections. Bold-face type is used for
further subdivisions.
•
Figures and tables are numbered separately in each chapter. The page following the chapter
table of contents contains a list of the figures and tables appearing in that chapter.
Certain conventions were observed when writing the manual. These are explained below.

A number of abbreviations have been used.
Example: CPU (central processing unit)
