Quick Start Guides
This is a collection of Quick Start Guides to be posted by various tools at Bloominglabs. The intent is to create posters and laminated tags which attach to various tools in our space. These do not negate proper training on equipment, but in a pinch can get someone started using a piece of gear if they haven't used it in a year or so. Also, we tend to have equipment that needs some splaining, and if the owner or knowledgeable folks are not around for new people to meet, then that doesn't do anyone any good. This is an attempt to facilitate self-help where possible.
When writing a Quick Start Guide, assume the user knows almost nothing about the device in question. They probably have read about the subject since they want to use said device, but it'd also be good to assume they have never done this before.
