If you are a first-time user, start with this manual, paying particular attention to Chapter 2. After installation (Chapter 3), read Chapter 4 to learn front-panel operation. Programming users should then read Chapter 5 before going to the Programming Reference Guide. Experienced programming users will probably refer only to the Programming Reference Guide. The programming guide covers all of the programming details whereas Chapter 5 in this manual gives a few simple examples to help you get started in writing computer programs.
