DartDisk User Guide
The DartDisk User Guide (this document) is installed as a PDF (Portable Document Format)
file in the \docs directory under the SIGNAL root directory (normally c:\Program
Files\Engineering Design\Signal 4.0). PDF files require the Acrobat Reader program from
Adobe Corporation for viewing. If not already installed, this program is available for free
download at
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html. Acrobat Reader is also
required by Help | User Guide on the DartDisk menu.
Acrobat Reader provides full text search capability, which can be extremely useful as a
"super-index", to find all occurrences of a particular word or phrase in the document. To
perform a text search, select Edit | Find in the Acrobat menu.
This guide can be accessed from the DartDisk menu at Help | User Guide.
