Common terms and abbreviations...

Post by Jonarsh »

Hi folks,

Bring a newbie there are many terms and abbreviations which I do not know, can someone enlighten me??
E.g. "code" words like cdc, ccd, apo, dl, ddp, nb.... Think the list goes on... Haha

To be frank I just found out ota stands for optical tube assembly!

Would very much appreciate it! Thanks in advanced!!

Rgds, Jonarsh
