3 Understanding the manuals
The CMG-40TDE is a complex piece of equipment, the true flexibility
of which can only be fully appreciated by studying the manuals. The
instrument is covered by four separate documents:
•
MAN-040-0004 - This document, which provides an overview, a
getting-started guide and a list of other relevant manuals;
•
MAN-EAM-0003 - The CMG-EAM manual, which covers use of
the data acquisition module, including configuration of the
digitiser and control of the sensor. All of the instrument's external
connectors are described in the CMG-EAM manual but, for
convenience, this information is reproduced in section 4 of this
manual.
•
MAN-040-0001 - The CMG-40T Operator's Manual, which
describes the construction and operation of the sensor.
•
MAN-D24-0004 - The CMG-DM24 digitiser manual, which
describes the features of and command-line interaction with the
digitiser. Note that, thanks to the EAM's convenient web and
menu-based interfaces, direct use of the digitiser's command line
is seldom necessary.
