Re: [41CL] Question for users Message #3 Posted by Dan Grelinger on 27 Mar 2013, 2:58 p.m., in response to message #1 by Monte Dalrymple
I use a printed copy of the pdf manual available on the 41CL web site. I have printed it off twice, and need to do it again, primarily because images have been added to flash memory.
A hard copy will have the same issue. As revisions are made (seems to be frequently) a hard copy gets out of date.
A solution would be to create multiple documents.
1. Installation guide. (Once this is used, it is generally not needed for reference in the future).
2. Function Reference. This information seems to be pretty static, so a hard copy would have a relatively long lifetime.
3. Quick Reference Guide. Although it could have a list of functions included, its primarly purpose would be to reference the RAM map, Flash memory map, and ROM image information (name, IMDB mnemonic, and address). Distributed hard copies would have limited lifetime, however users would likely print out new copies of an on-line pdf every few months in order to have current information at their fingertips. It would not be more than a few pages.
