1.6 Getting Started—Example Sessions
This section will help you get a quick start using your programmer. Once you
get started, the menu structure and prompts make the programmer easy to
learn and to use. The remainder of this manual provides a detailed reference

messages. Use the Table of Contents at the front of the manual and the Index
at the end of the manual to direct you to the specific topic you need.
