Abbreviations, conventions, etc.
Where top panel controls or rear panel connectors are referred to, we’ve used a number thus:
6
to cross-reference to the top panel diagram, and thus:
1
to cross-reference to the rear
panel diagram. (See “Top View – controls” on page 12 and “Rear View – connectors” on
page 15).
We’ve used Bold text to name physical things – the top panel controls and rear panel
connectors, and smaller Bold italics to name the various Views that the grid can display.
Tips
These do what it says on the tin: we include bits of advice, relevant to the
topic being discussed that should simplify setting up Circuit to do what you
want. It’s not mandatory that you follow them, but generally they should make
life easier.
