THE MANUAL

Five documents. From nothing to FIELD on screen, and everything needed to keep reading it.

057 observes one machine — yours — and keeps what it observes in one file on it. Read in order the first time. After that, the fault names on the last page are the fastest way in.

00START Getting started What it needs, how to run it, where the store goes, and every command it has. 01FIELD Reading FIELD Mass, activity, residue, presence, articulation, depth — and how to move through them. 02SOURCES Sources The seven things 057 can read, what each reports, and what a source’s state means. 03DATA Data and privacy What is observed, what is stored, where, for how long, and what never leaves the machine. 04FAULTS Troubleshooting Every fault the instrument can report, what it means, and what to do about it.
