Hey

Someone may have already done a post like this before but i couldn't find anything. Im not sure what some of the codes mean, ive figured out that LO is little one and OH is other half but the DW or DL.... can't even rememeber what some of them was not but i just couldn't work em out lol

Could someone give me a break down to the main codes that are used?

Thank you in advanced
