Re: From a newbie : what VCA ?

2006-03-02 by ilanode

Hello Bakis, got it!!! Funnily enough I walked from my PC to the 
A100 to check wether the A131 is labelled exp. or log. while having 
in mind the A130 is lin. The 3 or 4 meters on my way back were 
enough to let slip any math. terms from my mind onto my feet :(
Next time on a similiar ocassion I'll take a sketch-book and a 
pencil with me! Regards, Ingo
