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.
I'm looking for advice on tools and methods to create, edit, and import
timing diagrams into MSWord (now)and potentially Framemaker (future).
The tools our ASIC designers are using don't give us quite the results we're
looking for. The diagrams are destined for MSWord, but I would prefer them
in EPS so I can convert to other packages (Frame) in the future. The
designers are using Synopsis, which gives them numerical output, but no
timing diagrams. Add-on Synopsis tools to do this are probably too pricey to
justify. We've got Timing Designer, but the developers don't like using it;
the main designer actually prefers pencil (even crayon!) and paper.
They've asked me what I know. So, I'm asking you.
TIA
David Neufeld
