Page 4: Revision History
1. Revision History Date Description Version 2016-06-01 Create document V1.0 CHM-T36VA_UserManual_OpenSource1p0 This revision document is a user-contributed translation of the user manual by a native English speaker that is hopefully clearer than the original CharmHighV1.0. Names have been changed to be more intuitively obvious, consistent across the functions and compatible with industry jargon. -
