Re: Describing jumpers

[Jan Axelson <jan -at- lvr -dot- com>]

I would say:

"Jumper pins 1 and 2," which is the terminology I've always heard and used. 

If you want to be more specific (for users unfamiliar with jumpers), say "Slide
the jumper block onto pins 1 and 2." I would also include a diagram. 

I would make the table something like this:

Jumpers for Selecting an Interface
Interface       Location A      Location B
232             1-2             open
422             open            2-3
485             open            2-3

This way, users can select an interface in the left column and quickly see how
to set the jumpers.

>Does jumper 1-2 clearly mean set the
jumper on pins 1-2. How about *1-2 jumpered*?

Both of these are OK, in my opinion.
