TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
How about "analyzer diagnostics", "machine diagnostics", "computer
diagnostics" or "software diagnostics"? BTW, this old used-to-be med tech
does not find just "diagnostics" particularly confusing in this context, but
Doug's point is well taken in a world where the "tech" might be a
receptionist, poorly-trained and thrust into the position.
