c. Transition Time—Transition time is the number of milliseconds that pass between the release of
a key stroke and when the Diamante recognizes the next key stroke. This can affect the stacking
or splitting of steno outlines. If you experience stacking or splitting steno outlines, adjust the
Split/Stack Adjustment option first
.
If the Split/Stack Adjustment settings do not resolve the splitting or stacking of steno outlines, set
the Split/Stack Adjustment option to “Balanced” before
changing the Transition Time setting. It is
strongly
recommended that you select a small increment and assess the change. Turn on CNN
or the equivalent and write against the broadcast for 20 - 30 minutes.
The default setting is 8 milliseconds. Use the + and - buttons to choose a number between 2 and
66.
• Increase the transition time setting—Split steno outlines continue to show in your steno
notes. Split steno outlines indicates that the transition time is too slow. Increase the transition
time setting in small increments.
• Lower the transition time setting—Stacked steno outlines continue to show your steno
notes. Stacked steno outlines indicates that the transition time is too fast. Decrease the
transition time setting in small increments.

settings. Use the + or - button to select Yes. If you made changes in Adjust Keys, you will not
prompted to save the settings as indicated in the next step.
