Hi Rich,

I hope this is useful. I have no cad type programs, so this was done in PCBExpress ! I could not get a picture of mine. it is about invisible in the DSP-10.

It is intended to illustrate a wire tacked to one pad and extending over the other pad. This forms a very small capacitance, and is adjusted by varying the spacing.  As I recall this is described in the instructions.
