Techwr-ones:
I'd appreciate book or article titles on writing hardware
documentation. Or if you have some comments on the topic,
I'd appreciate those too.
I have to write the operations and maintenance manuals for
satellite communications equipment (the metallic boxes, not the
software). What is the best way to present information about
complicated high-tech equipment so that it can be used
and maintained?
