Typographical conventions
• Bold typeface indicates an interface element or dialog box name.
• > indicates the click sequence, e.g., “Click Advanced > LCD Test
means you tap the Advanced tab then choose LCD Test from the
menu.
• Italics are used to denote file names, file paths and user input.
• Quotes are used for indicating values that can be chosen, usually
options in drop-down menus, for example “Forward”.
Terminology
Forward flow in this document is the equivalent of upstream flow in other
documentation, and reverse flow in this document is the equivalent of
downstream flow or backward flow in other documentation.
Due to the prevalence of PCs with touchscreens, the verb “tap” was chosen to
indicate a physical selection action — the equivalent of a mouse click.
