1.2 Manual Conventions
This section introduces you to the signage and text highlighting used in this manual. This man-
ual  uses  particular  formatting  to  point  out  special  facts  and  to  warn  you of  potential  issues.
The icons introducing these notes let you see what kind of information is to be expected:
Whenever this exclamation mark icon appears, you should read the corresponding note
carefully and follow the instructions and hints given there if applicable.
This light bulb  icon indicates  that a  note contains  useful extra  information. This  infor-
mation may often help you solve a task more efficiently, but does not necessarily apply
to the setup or operating system you are using; however, it's always worth a look.
Furthermore, the following formatting is used:
▪ Text appearing in (drop-down) menus (such as Open…, Save as… etc.) and paths to loca-
tions on your hard drive or other storage devices is printed in italics.
▪ Text appearing elsewhere (labels of buttons, controls, text next to checkboxes etc.) is print-
ed in blue. Whenever you see this formatting applied, you will find the same text appearing
somewhere on the screen.
▪ Text appearing on displays of the S8 controller is printed in light grey. Whenever you see
this formatting applied, you will find the same text on a controller display.
▪ Text appearing on labels of the hardware controller is printed in orange. Whenever you see
this formatting applied, you will find the same text on the controller.
▪ Important names and concepts are printed in bold.
▪ References  to  keys on  your  computer’s  keyboard  you’ll find  put  in  square  brackets (e.g.,
“Press [Shift] + [Enter]”).
