Manual conventions
Throughout this manual, a few conventions have been employed to help you find
the references under discussion. There are four notational conventions,
corresponding to primary key operations, shifted key operations, and operations
in menus:
1.
Functions on the keyboard appear in their own special font. For example,
the ENTER key appears as
by the function name and the key combination required; for example, @
R
(Plot Setup).
2.
The HP 39/40gs calculators employ context-sensitive menus that appear
along the bottom of the display. The functions in these menus are accessed
via the top row of keys on the keyboard directly below the screen display.
There are six of these menu keys in all. For example, in the Plot screen
capture in Table 1-2, the four items shown in the menu are: CHAN, PAN,
SCOPE, and STOP. These keys are represented in a special font. For
example, ZOOM appears as @ZOOM.
3.
The StreamSmart Aplet also employs dialogue boxes from time to time, as
shown in the Streamer Plot Setup view in Table 1-2 above. The field names
in menus and other data are shown in bold type. For example, in the top left
corner of the Plot Setup dialog box in Table 1-2, there is a field named
XRNG. In this manual, the field name is shown in bold as XRNG.
4.
Screen captures are provided to assist you in checking your data. The actual
data will vary. These screen captures are simply provided to help orient you
to the software and to help you navigate through the functionality.
5.
Finally, tasks are numbered to clarify steps in multi-step procedures.
