1.3. How to use these instructions
These instructions are written for the end user, and is not intended to be an engineering
manual. For this reason it omits unnecessary detail concerning how the controller works,
and concentrates on information the operator needs in order to make the best use of
FORMAT'S powerful capabilities.
Some users will find they are familiar with the system after only a short time. For such
users,
these instructions may be used as a reference guide; the sections are split into
controller functions.
If you prefer a methodical approach to familiarising yourself with the FORMAT
programmer/controller, it is recommended that you read all sections in order, trying out
the topics described "hands on" as you go along.
As a minimum you should read sections 2 and 3 of the handbook, which describe the
basics of using the controller.
