About this Manual
Operation Manual
All information about the normal operation and behavior of this device is found in this
Operation Manual. The manual is written for people who only operate the device and do
not perform setup and adjustment procedures.
All device elements and software functions are described in detail, although some of them
might never be used. This manual does not cover any application software. Refer to the
appropriate manual to learn about the application software.
Setup and Assembly Manual
The Setup and Assembly Manual is written for technical staff with some basic
mechanical as well as software skills. Many resellers will offer on-site installation;
