really designed for just audio, though. We are trying to present very
specific and useful tips on using the software, so we refer to specific menus,
and how the displays look and what you can learn from the display, “when
you click here” and things like that. Also, they are in separate
sections so that you can watch just a segment that you might want. But I’ll
talk to my colleagues about it! Thanks for the feedback.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
