Writing sample for Barbara Heninger:
The CDSDoc User Guide describes how to use the online library shipped with Cadence Design Systems tools.
About the User Guide
The user guide is shipped as part of the online library, along with the user manuals for Cadence tools. The guide is also published on a Cadence support website, SourceLink (sourcelink.cadence.com), so that users can read it even when they are not running CDSDoc.
Readers of the user guide are either system administrators who set up Cadence software for their company and manage the supporting files, or engineers who use Cadence software tools (EDA tools). Readers are familiar with computer terminology and basic computer tasks.
Award: This guide won an award of excellence from the Northern California Society for Technical Communications annual competition, Touchstone 2002.
The user guide was written in Adobe FrameMaker, and converted to HTML using Quadralay WebWorks. PDFs are produced from FrameMaker.
Limitations of this Sample
The sample consists of only the HTML and PDF files for one guide from a larger library. Most of the other books (with the exception of the CDSDoc Configuration Guide) and the CDSDoc application cannot be posted here. Therefore:
- Four links on the navigation bars will not work: Library, Search, Feedback, and Exit.
- Links from this book to some other documents will not work.
- The Library window, with its table of contents for each book, will not appear.
